Profile

Michael Jefferson's Curriculum Vitae

I was educated at Barnsley & District Holgate Grammar School and Keble College Oxford, where I was a Holroyd Exhibitioner. There I obtained my B.A. in Jurisprudence, later converted into a M.A., and B.C.L., an Oxford master’s degree. My teaching interests include criminal and employment (including equality) law, both read broadly. I have supervised at all levels including PhDs and chaired vivas and externally examined theses.

I'm a past Chair of the Association of Law Teachers, organising the 40th Annual Conference in Edinburgh 2005 (Enhancing the Student Experience), and remain a Committee member; an organiser for the Industrial Law Society in the north-east; and the Labour Law stream organiser for the Socio-Legal Studies Association. I was for many years the Recent Legal Developments Editor for The Law Teacher and I remain on the Editorial Board.

I am in demand as a validator of undergraduate and PGT degrees. I have a wealth of experience and expertise as an external examiner for both undergraduate and PGT degrees. I was the University’s Institutional Nominee for the QAA Developmental Engagement with Chemistry and I have acted on behalf of the University in several roles including various Independent Evaluations of Teaching. I have spoken on the radio.

I have served inter alia as (the first) Director of Teaching for the Law School and as the Faculty’s Director of Learning and Teaching for the University. I am currently the Tutor for Overseas Admissions.

Research group: Areas of research supervision

Recent supervisions include sex crimes and corporate manslaughter. For other internal and external examinerships, please see my CV.

Teaching interests: I take an holistic approach to Criminal Law and Employment Law, taking care to concentrate on matters of political and social interest as well as those of use to practitioners. I write for students (including textbooks, monographs, and revision guides) but also for legal practitioners and union members.

Teaching activities

The modules I teach are:

Undergraduate:

Employment Law
Criminal Law and Justice
Law for Engineers

Postgraduate/MA:

Law of Crime (Convenor)

In all there are lectures and seminars with additional support e.g. glossaries, quizzes, multiple choice questions, updates. Michael Jefferson is the author of a standard student text with a worldwide website (password protected) attached to the book. He is an enthusiastic and committed teacher, speaks on these topics at conferences, and writes on current issues.

I am also personal tutor to 30 students, largely non-UK ones, and I act as tutor for direct entry students.
