COVID-19 has brought about monumental change in the way universities operate. This Note discusses teaching during a global pandemic, and looks at the future of legal teaching.

Law is one of those subjects which is steeped in institution and resists change like the plague (if you’ll pardon the pun). Enter COVID-19. Against the backdrop of the unfurling global pandemic, universities had to make sure teaching continued in whatever way they could

Perhaps we are lucky that this happened in 2020 and not 1980. Online study resources have greatly evolved and law students are much more used to them. However, in-person teaching remained the backbone of many university courses.

Insight in this Note is from Alex Morrice, Senior Tutor at The University of Law Bristol Campus in the UK.
