Amanda Perry-Kessaris<\/a><\/span> (Kent Law School) and Emily Allbon <\/a><\/span>(City St Georges) are working in partnership with The Postal Museum to find out how we can use archives to enliven legal education.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
They will support academics from around the UK to create a set of \u2018sparks\u2019\u2013expert, accessible, commentaries\u2013which link specific items from The Postal Museum Collections<\/a><\/span>\u00a0to each of the core law subjects (contract, criminal, tort, public, land, trusts, EU). These sparks will be directed to educators, students, and members of the public working from A-Level upwards. They will be made freely available online via Lawbore<\/a><\/span>, the leading directory to resources for those studying law.<\/div>\n

Amanda said \u2019A key aim of this project is to open up both law and archives to a wide range of people, and we hope to be able to scale it up to include more law subjects in future.\u2019 To find out more, visit the project webpage<\/a><\/span>.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
