LEADING barrister and human rights lawyer Baroness Helena Kennedy has unveiled a new £7m law school at Durham University.
Baroness Kennedy unveiled a plaque at the new building, off Stockton Road, Durham City, on Thursday night (May 16) after delivering a lecture titled ‘Law Matters’.
She said: “Durham University has one of the leading law schools in the world and this new building will take it into a league of its own.
“I feel so honoured to be opening it – it really is state of the art, with facilities which are unmatched anywhere in the UK.”
The new Durham Law School is final part of a four-year £50m development including the Palatine Centre, the university’s new headquarters, and an extension to the renamed Bill Bryson Library.
