About this course\
The LLM Artificial Intelligence and Law provides advanced knowledge and skills at the intersection of law and technology. You will critically examine how emerging AI technologies are regulated in the UK, Europe and internationally, with a focus on ethical, financial, and societal implications.

The programme is designed to prepare you for senior roles in legal practice, industry, government, and international organisations where AI and technology regulation are key.

The Centre for the Study of Law in Theory and Practice (LTAP) at Liverpool John Moores University combines rigorous research and applied legal enquiry to explore how law functions in society, bridging the gap between theory and practice. LTAP hosts research units in key areas such as business, corporate, financial and technology law, European and comparative public law, international law and human rights, and legal practice. By working with global academic and practitioner partners and contributing to policy, education and industry engagement, LTAP provides a rich intellectual environment that directly supports the interdisciplinary focus of the LLM in Artificial Intelligence and Law, helping students explore the regulatory, ethical and societal implications of AI within contemporary legal frameworks.

Please note, optional modules detailed below will only run if there are 10 students or more.
