The University of Queensland Law School has appointed an acting head of school to take over from outgoing dean of law Professor Patrick Parkinson.

Professor Rick Bigwood will step into the role for 12 months while the law school recruits for a permanent replacement. Professor Bigwood has worked as a law lecturer at the university for five years and briefly acted as head of school in 2018.

Over the next year, Professor Bigwood said he hopes to re-establish the school’s overall sense of community, which was impacted by COVID-19 restrictions.
