What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

This is a fantastic resource. A great idea, wonderfully well executed by the two editors. It contains everything an aspiring or early career academic needs to know. I wish this had been available to me 30 years ago.' Professor Sally Wheeler, Head of the School of Law, Queen's University Belfast, UK

'This is an incredibly valuable and, I think, a unique resource for all teachers of law in higher education. It provides advice on how to respond to or pre-empt problems, deal with challenges and seek out opportunities in a way which is personal, supportive and relevant to both the law teacher's day-to-day job role and future career path.' Professor Rebecca Huxley-Binns, Vice Provost, University of Law, UK
