  • From ANU College of Law to Osgoode Hall Law School…

    On problem-based learning (PBL), Barrows & Tamblyn (1976) and Barrows (1986) are the key early texts.  I remember coming across the first in the mid-1980s (not sure how, maybe a conversation with a medical student I’d known since undergrad days, she’d been attracted to it, after her own dismal medical education), following my doctorate and…

  • Disintermediation in law schools

  • Australian National University, Legal Workshop

    I returned recently from spending seven days at the College of Law in the Australian National University in Canberra, part of my duties as Adjunct Professor there.  ‘Duties’ is exactly the wrong word.  It’s a real pleasure to be working, planning and implementing innovative legal education with such a dedicated bunch of staff, both in…
