The Centre for Contemporary Coronial Law is a unique research and training centre based within the University of Bolton. The centre aims to provide a unique area of legal education and research and to foster research synergies across the university and externally, to gain research funding, actively undertake and publish research and to liaise with the Coroner’s Society and the Chief Coroner. In particular, its professional development short courses provide vital training for anyone who professionally interacts with the coronial service, death investigations and inquests. Overall, the centre aims to promote good coronial law and practice.
As the busy, new Legal Year commences the Centre will bring development opportunities for legal and health practitioners alike, in synergy with the Police and other regulatory services marking a golden opportunity to enhance the delivery of legal services in the important coronial area.
I wish the Centre every future success.
This course prepares participants for work connected to or within the coronial service – it covers theoretical and practical knowledge of how the law is applied, including traning in the process of coronial law and its practical application to individual scenarios. Delivered by experienced practitioners, the course has a practical focus that will, amongst other things, prepare participants for appearing in or attending coronial courts and dealing with inquest cases.
