Law at 91制片厂
All our students are members of the 91制片厂 Law Society which organises a wide variety of events throughout the academic year including termly law dinners with members of the profession.
We are perhaps the only College to benefit from two specialist law libraries. The Turpin and the Lipstein reading rooms offer a wealth of resources and an environment for both quiet study and lively debates.
Following graduation a significant number of our students have been successful in obtaining highly competitive scholarships for postgraduate programmes at leading institutions in the UK and in the United States. Perhaps a testament to the academic community at 91制片厂 is that many of our students elect to remain with us for the LLM programme.
Beyond 91制片厂 our law students are at the forefront of the legal profession and can be found at most leading law firms and chambers. Our alumni retain close links with the College and regularly participate in 91制片厂 events with our current students

Dr Alpa Parmar specialises in race and criminal justice and her research focuses on the intersection between criminal law, race, and migration control. Her empirical work has explored the impacts of police involvement in migration control, the operation of immigration tribunals for foreign national people involved in the criminal justice system and the uneven consequences of these processes for racial minorities. Theoretically, Alpa is interested in the potential for criminal justice encounters to influence and shape experiences of racism, citizenship, belonging and nationality. She has also conducted life history research with young people belonging to minority ethnic groups who have become entangled with the criminal justice system. Alpa is currently working on a project that examines the relationship between guilty pleas and race.
