‘Make the News’ Opportunity

6th August 2020

Want more people to hear about your research?

The Society is excited to launch a new ‘Make the News’ opportunity for all Early Career members.

The opportunity is simple. Tell us why your research is potentially newsworthy. Pitch a brief outline (using the application form available on the SLS website, link below) of your research idea and why it might be of interest to a wider audience as part of a short radio piece or newspaper story.

The top five submissions will be pitched—by you—to our expert panel of Joshua Rozenberg (Law Society Gazette), Catherine Baksi (The Times & The Guardian) and Thom Brooks (Durham) who will provide individual feedback for how to take ideas forward based on their extensive experiences.

A unique experience to learn more about getting your research noticed by a wider audience, and in a supportive environment hosted by the Society of Legal Scholars.

Deadline: 1 November 2020
