THis has been a sort of ongoing joke in legal academic circles for years and now it's actually happening!!
UNIVERSITY OF YORK
Head of Department of Law
The University of York is establishing a new and distinctive Department of
Law as part of its ambitious long-term plans for academic and physical
growth. It will admit its first undergraduate students in October 2008,
building upon extensive discussions with both the academic community and
legal practitioners, and will result in a Department which balances
intellectual rigour with practical and skill-based learning. ...
We are, therefore, seeking an exceptional Head of Department, who would be
excited by this vision and by the opportunity of establishing an innovative
approach to legal education at the University of York.
Coo. Should I apply do you think?:)
