In this way, students learn the theory underpinning civil procedure and dispute resolution at the same time as providing them with a practical understanding of how to run a litigation file in real life. In this example, the program teaches students about legal research. The concept is that of a simulated law firm environment. Students are given a series of tasks to complete to demonstrate understanding of important and relevant areas of legal research. The tasks rely on the students having read and understood a range of resources relevant to that particular aspect of legal research.
Tasks are in the form of responses to certain scenarios.
Scenarios can be written to suit particular subjects, and it is envisaged that the structure could build up over the course of several years, and provide a personalised set of files which students can use as a point of reference over their years of study. ALC Workbooks Seven workbooks covering many basic topics, concepts and skills that underpin a proper understanding of law. They are useful for students starting a law degree or doing law subjects in other disciplines and are particularly helpful for students who did not undertake legal studies at school, or who are not fully familiar with Australian legal institutions and practices. The Law School CD Roms are available in the Library Reference Area, Library PC Lab and Baldwin Spencer PC Lab. WebRAFT and WebCrossing WebRaft is a web server which restricts access to those students who are enrolled in a subject.
