Meet some of your lecturers
Dr Lorraine Barron
Criminal Law and Criminology are both really interesting subjects. I love exploring the theories about why people commit crime (Criminology) and then examining what happens to them when they are apprehended (Criminal Law and Criminal Justice)!
I love when students get really interested in the subject area! I really enjoy reading my student essays on their chosen 'criminal' and the theory they would apply to explain.
Focus on what genuinely excited or intrigues you, and don't be afraid to embrace unexpected opportunities along the way.
The first successful use of the insanity defence came after an attempt to assassinate the British Prime Minister, Robert Peel, in 1843.The assassin, Daniel M鈥橬aghten, believed he was being persecuted by government agents and attempted to kill Prime Minister Peel, but accidentally shot and killed Peel's secretary, Edward Drummond, instead. During the trial, M鈥橬aghten鈥檚 defence argued he was suffering from a delusion due to mental illness, and he was found not guilty by reason of insanity. This case led to the creation of the M鈥橬aghten Rule, a legal standard for insanity that asks whether the defendant could distinguish right from wrong at the time of the crime. The case sparked huge public outrage, with Queen Victoria herself demanding stricter laws. Yet, the M鈥橬aghten Rule became a cornerstone of the insanity defence in criminal law, influencing systems worldwide, and is still referenced in courtrooms today.

Law is a very challenging and stimulating subject due to it's ever-evolving nature. This keeps the subject interesting beyond university study as you are able to witness it's evolution in everyday life!
The smaller teaching groups allow lecturers to develop a strong working relationship with the students. This results in lecturers getting to know the individual learning styles and needs of students.
Don't be afraid to take on challenging tasks and learn from your mistakes.
The power and flexibility of joint honour degree programmes! Through studying this way, you are still able to progress into a legal career, whilst also broadening your career prospects!

One of my A Level Lecturers believed in me and encouraged me to go to University and qualify as a solicitor. I was a first generation University attender so this was a big step for me.
Running the legal advice clinic we deal with most areas of law and really provide a difference to the local community.
Clinic has been hugely supported by the local community which is great to see. Of course the access to beautiful beaches and mountains is also a bonus.
One of the highlights is definitely meeting Lady Hale at one of the LawWorks events. The students loved it too. A truly inspirational woman.
Currently I鈥檓 a Family Law Barrister practicing out of Senate House Chambers, based in Northampton. My practice mostly focuses on work involving children, which can broadly be sub-divided into Private Law and Public Law .
