The Student-Staff Liaison Committee (SSLC) at the Law School is organising a five-day ‘PhD Writing Bootcamp’ from 1st May to 5th May 2023. The idea is to do some writing using the Pomodoro technique (40-minute writing sprints with 5-minute breaks in between each).

The Bootcamp will run in two sessions from 9 am to 4 pm each day (morning 9 am -12 pm; afternoon 1-4 pm). You have the option to attend the event in person as well as online. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

The Warwick Law School, University of Warwick, is pleased to host the 2023 British Association of Comparative Law annual postgraduate workshop. The workshop is open to PhD candidates at any stage of their research, from any part of the world, who work on any aspect of Comparative Law. The event will be held over two half-days: the afternoon of Tuesday 2 May, and the morning of Wednesday 3 May. The workshop will provide participants with the opportunity to present work in progress, receive feedback on their work from leading comparative scholars, engage in networking activities, and learn more about the pathway from PhD to publication from Intersentia Publishing.

Further details of the workshop and how to apply are attachedLink opens in a new window. Please note that the deadline for submissions is Wednesday 1 March 2023.
