Today we had a lovely couple of sessions in our School of Law with our Brickfield Asia College students. Thank you to Beverley Dawes from University of Law, and James Juggapah from BPP, for excellent presentations and question and answer sessions with our students. The visitors were greeted and given a warm introduction from our Head of School Professor Warren Barr. This was followed by a networking lunch in The Canada Room where our students got to mingle and chat with our guests in a more informal setting. Thank you to Eunice Chong and guests from BPP who also joined us. Thank you also to our staff who came along to chat to the students including Dr Alessandro Corda, Dr Ade Olayode, Seamus Mulholland and others. It was a memorable day and a great opportunity to strengthen bonds in our school community.

It was wonderful to visit our partner institution, Carleton University (Official) in Ottawa, and meet students keen to progress to our two-year LLB Senior Status programme at Queen's University Belfast.

Bright, thoughtful and engaging, Carleton students are always a pleasure to meet. We thoroughly enjoyed sharing what Queen's has to offer and answering their questions about the next steps towards a legal career.

Many thanks to all colleagues in Carleton's Department of Law and Legal Studies for such a warm welcome and generous hospitality. It is a real pleasure to see our partnership grow, bringing our university communities closer together and opening up new opportunities for students.

🎉 Huge congratulations to Professor Joan Loughrey, who takes up the Presidency of The Society of Legal Scholars of the UK and Ireland from today, 1 October 2026.

The SLS is the principal representative body for legal academics in the UK, with over 2,700 members. It's a fitting recognition of Joan's contribution to that community over her career.

There's more to celebrate: the Society's annual conference comes to Queen's on 7–9 September 2027 — the first time it's been hosted here since the mid-1950s. The theme, "Exploring Communities of Law and Legal Scholarship", looks at the role of legal scholarship in sustaining the Rule of Law at a time of upheaval in higher education and a profession being reshaped by AI.
