The Law School employs a number of sessional academic staff to assist with teaching and/or marking duties in both undergraduate and postgraduate units each semester.

Many of these academics within the School of Law are current practitioners employed for their up-to-date and ongoing expertise. This enhances the student learning, giving them access to professionals currently practicing within their field of expertise.

Applying to be a sessional academic staff member with the Law School

To be employed as a sessional staff member, you must first become part of the Law School's approved Sessional Academic Staff Pool. An application form along with a copy of your CV and academic records, must be submitted to the Law School. You will receive written advice as to the outcome of your application.

Being part of the approved pool, means that you are available for sessional work, but does not mean that you are automatically employed. Unit Coordinators will consult this pool when filling any vacancies for sessional staff positions in their teaching teams each semester. Should any teaching positions arise in your areas of interest and expertise, you will be contacted by the relevant Unit Coordinators prior to the commencement of the semester.
