Teaching of Rights and Justice in the Law School - Challenges and Opportunities for Research Led Teaching

This book examines the challenges of bringing cutting edge research in often controversial areas into the law syllabus and explores how academics can effectively adopt a holistic approach to research and pedagogy when teaching rights and justice. The collection brings together experts from all areas of legal scholarship to discuss how they fuse often controversial aspects of rights and justice into their teaching in a way that responds to and is ultimately led by academic research. As such, it advances legal education through the opportunity to explore the interplay between rights and justice and how scholars both ensure that their teaching is research led, whilst responding to the needs and views of students and issues such as generational differences in viewpoints on controversial issues. This topical volume will appeal to academics and researchers interested in academic freedom, the challenges of research led teaching and the pedagogy around the teaching of rights and justice.
