This
programme has been designed to provide legal practitioners (solicitors and
barristers) with an opportunity to complete a masters in law either on a
part-time or full-time basis. The programme relies upon existing taught LLM
modules at UCC but incorporates novel modules which require practitioners to
reflect on their clinical practice of law. In addition, the programme structure
facilitates the delivery of guest seminars from expert practitioners in the
relevant areas of study. Participating students are expected to complete a
research thesis as part of their studies, giving them the opportunity to engage
in detailed research in an area of law that is of particular interest to them.
The degree programme can be completed in a 12-36 month period and can be
tailored to suit the individual needs and interests of each participating
student. Full details of the LLM (Practitioner) Programme are available at http://www.ucc.ie/en/lawsite/postgrad/LLMPractitioner/
