UKCLA / Durham Law School Teaching in Public Law Workshops

On 15 December 2021 and 12 January 2022 the UK Constitutional Law Association and Durham Law School will hold two online workshops focused on public law teaching.

Across four sessions, public law experts will initiate informal discussion on a range of issues as a means of sharing best practice and prompting reflection on common issues in the teaching of compulsory and optional public law modules.

On 15 December, two sessions will focus on (i) the difficulties and opportunities associated with teaching public law topics in a highly fluid political/constitutional environment and (ii) the design and construction of curricula which reflect the diversity and breadth of contemporary public law.

Workshop 1 – 15 December 2021, 2-4pm

Panel 1 (2-3pm): Teaching Public Law in Unsettled Times
  • Fiona de Londras (Birmingham);
