Welcome to The Sussex Law School
Law, of course, is naturally exciting, being so intimately connected with the thoughts and actions of human beings. And we in the Sussex Law School ("SLS") regard it as one of our responsibilities to convey a sense of this excitement as part of the education we provide. We are mindful of the many functions of a legal education. Some of our graduates will go on to practise law, some will play a significant role in public and private industry, others will undertake postgraduate study and research in law. Whatever your future path we are committed to ensuring that your time in SLS will be rewarding, intellectually stimulating and will provide the best platform for a successful career. The research interests of faculty within the Sussex Law School include commercial law, company law, devolution, ecclesiastical law, employment law, human rights, insolvency law, international law, land law, legal history, Legal theory, Migration, Personal Property Law and professional conduct and regulation.
Within the Sussex Law School, work of faculty within the Centre for Responsibilities, Rights and the Law explores the importance and limits of human rights, and the allocation and content of responsibilities in domestic, European and international law. Head of Department, Jo Bridgeman, said: 'This represents a major achievement for a small but ambitious Law School. The RAE results recognise the significance of our research across all areas of research expertise." Director of Research, Marie Dembour praised colleagues in the Sussex Law School for its spirit of collegiality which has contributed to the excellence of its research output. Overall the University of Sussex has over 90% of its research as internationally recognised or better, and was ranked in the top 30 in the UK.
