Lawrence Modeme

I obtained my bachelor’s degree in law at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and was called to the bar as a barrister and solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria in 1991. I was in private legal practice for 10 years before undertaking post-graduate studies in law and obtaining Masters and Doctorate degrees from Nottingham Trent University and the University of Manchester respectively. Formerly a lecturer at the Universities of Manchester and Salford, I have held visiting lectureships in UK and overseas universities. My research interests are primarily in international political and human rights Law, although I also write books in Business Law and Tort Law.

Outside academic commitments, I have a passion for human enlightenment and global peace and unity. In this regard, I am a public speaker, the founder and co-ordinator of One Soul Movement (www.onesoulmovement.net), and the author of Jesus and the Fantasy of Salvation, which will be published soon.
