University of Newcastle’s School of Law

Gowns and wigs are still the order of the day for many lawyers practising in our courts and the image of the law is that of conformity to tradition - but students no longer need to fear that studying the law will mean years of poring over dusty tomes. Bronwen Jones is a lecturer at the University of Newcastle's School of Law. She wants to show her students that the law is something that people can feel passionately about in the modern world - though it may be rooted in the past. And she wants to make their learning experience stimulating and relevant to 21st century issues.
