Professor Stephen Guest
Professor of Legal Philosophy, UCL.
LLM study guide author: 'Jurisprudence and legal theory'
"I'm delighted to have written the new LLM study guide. I've been committed to the External System of the University of London for many years, partly because I'm aware of the vast unmet need for legal education worldwide and partly because I've frequently had the great experience of seeing the External degree change people as they are exposed to new ideas. There is another reason for my commitment: my father, who was a lecturer in Philosophy as well as a lawyer, came from New Zealand to fight in the Second World War and, after suffering a war injury and being captured in Italy, taught courses for the University of London External degree to fellow prisoners-of-war in a prison camp in Germany for two years. Through the appropriate books, the study guide and the right frame of mind - self-discipline and curiosity - studying for the LLM degree of the University of London brings very great rewards."
Each course is divided into four sections. For most courses, there is some freedom to choose the order in which you study the sections. Students may choose sections from no more than four courses. All syllabuses are subject to confirmation in the Regulations.
