About the Institute of Law

Founded in 2008, the Institute of Law is an independent, not-for-profit body based in Jersey, providing academic and professional legal education.

Our Teaching

Our teaching takes a mixed approach of both staff-led lectures and student-led activities (e.g. flipped learning, problem-based learning). It is complemented by a personal tutoring system that offers all our students bespoke pastoral and academic support.

We are passionate about equality, diversity and inclusion and seek to provide a welcoming, friendly and safe learning space for all our learners.
