Magna Carta: the Law and Criminology Gazette

Magna Carta: the Law and Criminology Gazette

Magna Carta – the Law and Criminology Gazette (named after the university's cultural and local significance) is intended to service the needs of many students by acting as a platform to publish a range of content semi-annually for the Department; from academic submissions from students to industry insight. It serves as a hub to know everything about the various areas of law, what our students are achieving, important tips/dates from the legal profession, jobs opportunities and departmental/society initiatives. We aim to cater to all across law, criminology and sociology.
