micro-teaching session.
Solent University Southampton – a Triple TEF Gold institution – is home to a dynamic and growing Law School ranked 6th in the UK in the Guardian League Table (2026). Rooted in the Solent 2035 principles of practice-led learning, industry connectivity and civic engagement, the Solent Law School is recognised for its innovative approach to legal education and its commitment to widening access to justice across the Central South.
We are seeking a highly motivated and professionally experienced Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Law to contribute to the development and delivery of our Clinical Legal Education (CLE) portfolio. This includes a contribution to the Solent Law Clinic, which currently provides vital support to members of our local community, and to the expansion of future service areas aligned with regional needs.
We are particularly interested in candidates that demonstrate agility through their ability to deliver across qualifying law degree core modules. Working closely with colleagues, students, and our extensive network of law firms, chambers, public bodies, and alumni, the successful candidate will design and deliver authentic, client-focused learning experiences. You will also support practical legal skills development through the Solent Moot Court, pro bono initiatives, student-employer engagement activities, and other opportunities that strengthen employability and professional formation.
We welcome applications from individuals with experience in legal practice and/or the leadership of a law clinic or similar CLE environment, who can help shape the next phase of our civic-led legal education offer. Specialist law expertise will also be valued.
The successful candidate will have a PhD (or be close to completion) or a relevant professional legal qualification with demonstrable experience in Higher Education and/or legal practice. You will be flexible and confident teaching across undergraduate, postgraduate and executive education, and committed to Solent’s applied approach to legal learning.
As part of the interview, shortlisted candidates will deliver a 10-minute micro-teaching session for first year law students focused on an area of property law of their choice.
