Please feel free to contact me at any time by email (llysjl@nottingham.ac.uk) or by Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/NULexisNexisSA). My drop in session times will be in the Slaughter and May Room (Law and Social Sciences Building) and times will be confirmed when the timetable is released. Hope to see you there!
