I joined Northumbria University in 2011, having graduated from Hull University with a first class LLB (Hons) degree and worked in practice as a commercial & intellectual property solicitor. In 2016, on the strength of my record in teaching excellence, I was fortunate to be awarded a National Teaching Fellowship by the Higher Education Academy. In the same year, I won Law Teacher of the Year at the Northern Law Awards, and was a shortlisted finalist for Best Supervisor at the Student Led Teaching Awards.
I work exclusively in the Student Law Office, with responsibility for the Business & Commercial Law Clinic. Under my supervision, students deliver free legal advice to local businesses. My students have advised businesses on trade mark registrations, intellectual property disputes, website & privacy issues, commercial contracts, terms and conditions, company incorporation, charitable status, consumer rights, and corporate governance.
Together with my colleague, Victoria Roper, I designed a Student-Led Blog (https://wetakecareofbusiness.wordpress.com/) which offers information of interest to businesses and students. In 2016, we were announced as finalists in the Routledge/ALT Teaching Law with Technology Prize 2016. You can find out more about the Business & Commercial Law Clinic by visiting the blog.
My research focusses on clinical legal education, in particular the role of the supervisor and the rise of business law clinics in the UK. Through Northumbria’s Legal Education & Professional Skills signature research group (LEAPs), I collaborate with and support academics nationally and internationally on clinical research and pedagogy. I am the founding member of PubhD Newcastle (https://pubhdnewcastle.wordpress.com), an initiative designed to bring together the North East PhD community to learn about each other’s research in a relaxed environment.
I am currently undertaking a Professional Doctorate in Law. My thesis explores my lived experience as a clinic supervisor through an autoethnographic lens. I regularly blog about academic writing and publishing. My blog (https://alawuntoherself.com) was shortlisted in the Education category of the 2016 UK Blog Awards, and I was listed in The Guardian’s ‘Best Social Media Accounts for Academics’.
