Centre on the Legal Profession

About the centre

Westminster Law School is one of the main research centres for the study of the legal profession in the UK. It focuses on the changing dynamics of the legal profession and legal services market.

The Centre on the Legal Profession (COLP), examines the issues arising out of this changing landscape, employing the tools of empirical and socio-legal research. We also teach students and others about the changes to the profession and how legal education itself is changing.
