Charlotte Park-Morton

Senior Lecturer in Law

Law is constantly evolving and is a huge part of our everyday lives; for me, this makes it a challenging but highly interesting area of study.

Biography

Often calling myself a ‘lifelong student’, after completing my LLB, I went on to complete various postgraduate qualifications and am currently working towards a doctorate.  My passion for learning, and my interest in how legal research can act as an impetus for change within society, guides my approach to teaching.  I aim to deliver high-class and engaging sessions that encourage students to challenge themselves; both with the complex theories of law and how the law operates within our society, as well as the practical elements that will enable them to go on to be successful lawyers of the future.

Teaching & Research

Teaching

I teach across all level of the LLB, acting as module tutor for Contract Law at Level 4, Family Law and Level 5 and Medical Law at Level 6.  I am also the tutor for the dissertation module at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, supporting students with their research journeys.

Research

My broad research interest is in the intersection between family and medical law, with a particular focus on reproductive technologies. I have a strong interest in how the international community can regulate cross-border reproductive treatments, as well as the comparative study of legal approaches adopted by different jurisdictions. I am currently working towards a PhD which questions the extent to which different legal responses to the practice of surrogacy meet the rights of the child.
