Birju Kotecha

Assistant Professor

School: Northumbria School of Law

I am practising barrister based at Trinity Chambers. I practise in employment and civil/commercial law. Further details of my expertise can be found .

I read law at the University of Newcastle-Upon Tyne and later completed an MA in Politics at the University of Manchester. I began at Northumbria Law School in 2013, first as a graduate tutor, before being promoted in September 2017.

To date my research has concentrated on international criminal law. My work has been published in leading journals such as the Leiden Journal of International Law and the Journal of International Criminal Justice. In 2022 I co-edited a Journal issue examining the impact of misinformation on international criminal tribunals.

My teaching experience is in the law of tort, public international law and, more recently, Ethics for Bar students. In the past I have taught Constitutional and Administrative Law.

In 2019 I was awarded a Middle Temple Scholarship and later called to the Bar of England and Wales in the summer of 2021. I was formerly the admissions tutor for the Bar Course, chaired the Scholarship committee and was an External Examiner in Professional Ethics for the Bar Standards Board.
