LLM Artificial Intelligence and Law

About this course

The LLM Artificial Intelligence and Law provides advanced knowledge and skills at the intersection of law and technology. You will critically examine how emerging AI technologies are regulated in the UK, Europe and internationally, with a focus on ethical, financial, and societal implications.

The programme is designed to prepare you for senior roles in legal practice, industry, government, and international organisations where AI and technology regulation are key.

The Centre for the Study of Law in Theory and Practice (LTAP) at Liverpool John Moores University combines rigorous research and applied legal enquiry to explore how law functions in society, bridging the gap between theory and practice. LTAP hosts research units in key areas such as business, corporate, financial and technology law, European and comparative public law, international law and human rights, and legal practice. By working with global academic and practitioner partners and contributing to policy, education and industry engagement, LTAP provides a rich intellectual environment that directly supports the interdisciplinary focus of the LLM in Artificial Intelligence and Law, helping students explore the regulatory, ethical and societal implications of AI within contemporary legal frameworks.

Please note, optional modules detailed below will only run if there are 10 students or more. 

The Rice-Jones Scholarship

The Rice-Jones Charitable Trust was set by an individual who wanted to benefit postgraduate law students studying in the North West of England. The individual's late husband and father were both lawyers, and this inspired her to help students who show academic promise and a commitment to the legal profession, but who may not necessarily have the financial support to undertake their studies.

The Rice-Jones Charitable Trust is registered at the Charity Commission with registration number 1171890. 

The Rice-Jones Charitable Trust Scholarship is available to applicants who have accepted a place to study on a postgraduate law course, including but not limited to the Graduate Diploma in Law, the Legal Practice Course, the Solicitors Qualifying Examination, the Bar Professional Training Course or the Master's in Law.

The amount offered and purpose for which the Scholarship award is offered is at the absolute discretion of The Rice-Jones Charitable Trust and may vary per individual. A successful applicant may be in receipt of a grant of up to £20,000. 

Applications must be received before 29 May 2026.
