What is iTunes U?

The Foundation for Law, Justice and Society is committed to promoting an understanding of the role of law in society, and is pleased to be able to utilise the global reach of iTunes U to make our research freely accessible to an international audience.

iTunes U is a specialised area of the Apple iTunes store that allows Higher Education institutions to make audio and visual content available for download and subscription.
