Mrs Cherry Diggle

Faculty: Business, Computing and Law

School: School of Law and Criminology

Subject Area: Law

I lecture to both full and part time students in Land Law, along with the conducting of tutorials for this subject. I also share the teaching of tutorials for Contractual Obligations. I have recently completed the development of a new module in Medical Law and Ethics which I will be leading and which will begin in September 2012. I both enjoy and encourage lively discussion and participation in lectures and tutorials.I find that by explaining the law through the use of practical examples, wherever possible, students are helped to grasp the relevent legal concepts in a more relaxed and engaging manner. It is a joy for me to see understanding and confidence grow in my students.

1. Module leader in Land law - lectures and tutorials.2. Tutor in the Law of Contractual Obligations. 3. Module leader in Medical Law and Ethics.

Professional interests

     

Research interests

I am currently studying at postgraduate level in the area of Medical law and Ethics, having a keen interest in ethical ideals. Work is well advanced on a paper for publication on the subject of the value of sanctity of life perceptions as a parameter by which to regulate end of life decision making. I also have particular interests in the fields of the regulation of stem-cell technology, pre-implantation genetic diagnosis and both the ethical and legal dimensions underpinning emergent thinking on human enhancement.
