Introducing the Newcastle Law School Journal and Blog
North East Law Review Journal
Web: https://research.ncl.ac.uk/nelr/
Established in 2013, the North East Law Review is a student-led journal and is an opportunity to gather fellow students and staff who are passionate about law. We are looking to relaunch the North East Law Review (NELR) in 2020 and have exciting plans including Sponsored Essay Competitions. The NELR is currently recruiting a committee of Editors to ensure its continued operation and is an excellent opportunity for students to get involved in the production of legal research.

Associated with the North East Law Review is the NELR Blog which is designed to be a space for the exchange of ideas between independent thinkers in law. The NELR Blog is currently recruiting a committee to ensure its continued operation, production of content and smooth running and is an excellent opportunity for students to get involved in shaping and furthering the debates that exist in law currently. In addition to this, the Blog is also currently welcoming contributions and submissions from staff and students across Newcastle on any topics of interest.
The type of content NELR will be producing content includes, but is not limited to:
- Blog posts on areas of law (1,000 – 2,000 words)
- ‘Debates in Law’
- Case Summaries of latest cases
- Panel Discussions
- Seminar Recordings
- Podcasts
If you are interested in running for the Committee to help produce these or similar sorts of ideas, if you are interested in writing or just want to immerse yourself more in your studies, then please e-mail a 250 word application and a full CV to James Merryweather and Colette Monahan (j.merryweather@newcastle.ac.uk and c.monahan@newcastle.ac.uk). The deadline for applications is the 18th September after which we will be looking to start driving the NELR forward. The available positions can be found below, and the number of available places can be increased if there are good candidates.
