Role

Please note that this opportunity is only for Current Law Students
 
Project Overview: 
 
City Law School is developing its LLB programme, for re-launch in September 2025. One aspect of the new programme is a year-long module, entitled Foundations of Legal Analysis. The module aims to support student learning of core analytical skills to support their assessments in their substantive legal modules, particularly Constitutional Law, Contract Law, English Legal System and Public Law. 
 
City Law School wishes to coproduce aspects of this module with current LLB students. To this end, the School seeks to recruit a diverse team of current LLB students, to work with academic staff in City Law School to develop the tutorial programme for the Foundations of Legal Analysis module. 
 
This is a paid internship.

  • The tutorial programme will be underpinned by sound legal pedagogy. You will be guided to conduct independent research in relevant literatures and will collaborate with academic staff to select and justify appropriate underpinning pedagogical approach(es). 
  • Project deliverables are (1) student-facing tutorial sheets, with preparation tasks and activities to take place during each tutorial; (2) staff-facing tutorial materials, with guidance on how each tutorial might be run; brief summaries of key concepts, readings and other materials; and explanations of the underpinning pedagogy and rationales.
