We welcome applications from all areas of practice.  Those seeking part-time or Visiting Lecturer posts are also welcome to apply.  The City Law School supports BVS staff to maintain active links with the profession subject to teaching commitments.  Many members of our team successfully combine a rewarding career at City with practice at the Bar or part-time judicial roles.
