All lecturers in the Department are actively engaged in research.
Staff regularly contribute articles to the leading academic and professional journals.
Three journals of international repute - the International Journal of Biosciences and the Law, the Cambrian Law Review and The Environmental Law Review are edited in the Department. Staff are frequently invited to present papers at international conferences, and act as consultants to law firms and industry as well as to a variety of public institutions such as the Law Commission, the Legal Aid Board and the European Commission. The Centre for Welsh Legal Affairs , based at the Department of Law, brings together areas of academic excellence that create an invaluable resource of legal expertise and point of reference. Whilst the primary research aim of the Centre is the study of Welsh legal affairs, it will also seek to consider legal issues very much in the context of wider developments at UK, European and international levels.
