Our students Katie, Aisha and Shelby take you on an all access tour of our Curzon Building, home to the School of Law. Get a sneak peak at your future home today, or come and take a look for yourself on one of our Open Days!
The courtrooms are at the heart of our School of Law.
We have both a mock Crown Court and a mock Magistrates Court, giving you the chance to practice your skills in a realistic environment mimicking the top levels of the British legal system.
Both courtrooms are used across various modules, including Professional Skills and Practice where students are assessed through a piece of advocacy, for example a bail application or plea in mitigation.
They also host our Mooting and Debating Society activities. We hold our internal and external moots and debates in the courtrooms, and use them when supporting mock trials undertaken by the Psychology department.
The Curzon Building is the home of the Business, Law and Social Sciences faculty. The Birmingham City Business School is located on the second floor, with the School of Law and School of Social Sciences occupying the third floor.
The building was opened in 2015, as the latest addition to the City Centre Campus, right in the middle of the ambitious Eastside redevelopment scheme. It was later extended with the Curzon B building opening in January 2018.
