Human rights law essays reward students who can engage with the tension between individual rights and public interests. Judges and academics disagree on the correct approach to proportionality, the margin of appreciation, and the scope of positive obligations, strong essays engage with that disagreement rather than presenting the law as settled.
Our human rights law mentors include academics with research specialisms in ECHR jurisprudence, practitioners in civil liberties and public interest litigation, and LLM graduates from the human rights programmes at Essex, Nottingham, and Queen Mary.
We cover the full human rights curriculum: ECHR Articles and their application, HRA 1998 mechanisms including Section 3 interpretation and Section 4 declarations of incompatibility, international human rights treaties, equality and discrimination law, and the intersection of security law with fundamental rights.
