The case for time turners – The practicalities of being a new law lecturer

Abstract

A time-turner is the device used by Hermione Granger in JK Rowling's Harry Potter books to turn back time so she can attend more than one class at the same time. They should, I believe, be standard issue for new law lecturers. This paper examines the practical day to day activities and my attempt to balance teaching, research, administration, training courses and other activities as a new law lecturer as well as maintaining a private life that is not wholly dominated by work. © 2009, 2009 The Association of Law Teachers.
