  • Developing oral skills in undergraduate students to enhance access to justice (PM)

    Pamela Henderson and Jo Boylan-Kemp on the above.  Why do oral skills matter?  Because of the arenas of client communication, interviewing, negotiation and mediation, mooting and advocacy.  At Notts Law School, the skills are developed in SCALE-UP modules, eg English Legal Method, Crime, etc from first to final year.  Jo described a student-led pedagogy, where skills…

  • LETR on regulatory relationships

    I was revisiting LETR on regulatory relationship for a paper I was giving here at Denver U Sturm College of Law.  A year or so on, how is it looking?  The responses of the main regulators were reasonably predictable though the future consequences of their actions are difficult to foresee.  But what of the report itself?…

  • ILEC 2014, Session 6

    Session 5 – I was presenting, so no summary.  For once I just talked to a script, no slides, since I had about 12 mins.  Shamani Ragavan, Neil Gold and Nigel Duncan presented, while my colleague from ANU Liz Curran did a fine intro to & demo of a Giving Voice to Values mini-session that…

  • ILEC 20214, Session 4

    Session 2 I was presenting on a version of The Wrong Story — slides on the Slides page, on the tab above.  Also on the panel were Victoria Rees, regulator, BC Canada, and Adrian Evans.  Had to take time to answer stuff coming in on email, but here we are at 4B, ‘Responding to the…

  • Emergent educational designs and distributed autonomous organisations

    Kate Galloway has posted on the digital revolution and the legal curriculum, and her piece warrants discussion.  From her conclusion: I believe it possible to develop an ‘immersion’ law curriculum using digital literacies as an organising context. A scaffolded approach to knowledge, skills and attitudes is an essential part of the contemporary law curriculum. This…

  • WG Hart, session 3

    First up, Wes Pue, highly engaging session on Professional innovation in three frontier towns: Toronto, 1820, Birmingham, 1860, Winnipeg, 1920.  Wes’ paper counters the view that innovation only derives from metropolitan centres.  From his abstract: ‘the perspective of professional history from the ‘frontier’ dislocates more conventional histories ‘from the centre’, permitting the opening of enquiries…

  • Shared space: regulation, technology and legal education in a global context

    Abstract for my BILETA 2014 legal education session below.  Slides up on the Slides page of this site: The LETR Report on legal services education and training (LSET), published in June 2013, is the most recent of a series of reports dealing with legal education in England and Wales.  Many of these reports do not…

  • Markets, modern universities, ancient values

    A while back I attended a two-day ASSA workshop  at the ANU College of Law, organized and convened by Professors Margaret Thornton and Glenn Withers.  I missed the first couple of sessions, but came in on Geoff Brennan’s paper on markets and Australian universities; and Fiona Jenkins’ very impressive paper on the impact of research evaluation exercises and the way they reproduce…

  • LETR read, misread, unread

    I’ve been at three LETR-related events the last couple of weeks — the seminar at UCL on Legal Innovation — How Should the Educators Respond,   a SLS/IALS event, The Role of Academics in Legal Education & Training, and a LERN event — After the LETR, what should we be researching and how.  I was speaking…
