About the award
The Law Teacher of the Year (also known as LTOTY) is sponsored by Oxford University Press (OUP) in association with UKCLE. The award is designed to recognise the vital role that teachers play in the education of tomorrow's lawyers, and to reward achievement in teaching - see OUP's Law Teacher of the Year pages for further details.
Each year many extremely good and dedicated law teachers are nominated for the award, but what is excellence in law teaching? Tracey Varnava (UKCLE) reports on the search for the legal education X factor.
