Nottingham Law School is a law school in the UK with over 100 full-time lecturers and 400 students. It is an academic and professional institution, part of Nottingham Trent University, situated in the East Midlands.

Nottingham Law School provides a range of undergraduate LLB and postgraduate LLM degrees. The School also provides professional legal education including the Graduate Diploma in Law conversion course, the Legal Practice Course, for intending solicitors, and the Bar Professional Training Course for intending barristers.

The Law School has been given the top 'Excellent' rating by the Law Society and comparable ratings by the Bar Standards Board of England and Wales every year since its inception. It also has a significant reputation for research, particularly in insolvency and international criminal justice, with 60% being judged as of international standard in the most recent 2008 Research Assessment Exercise.

For the LPC, it offers three different routes: the standard, the commercial and the corporate.

Sport

The School has a highly successful football team which is a constant force in the Nottingham Sunday League Division One. Although there was a dip in form last season (mainly due to the poor managerial skills of Luke Jennison), the team appears to be in good shape for this season.

Other sports include a rugby union team, a basketball team and a netball team. Their kits have been subject to numerous thefts, especially the much sought-after "23" basketball jersey.

Notable alumni

Chuka Umunna, Labour MP for Streatham.
