| Unit Description |
This unit seeks to impress upon students the importance of being effective communicators both in writing and orally. First, the unit aims to improve students' legal research skills in using the law library and in particular the electronic law library. Next, the ability to write clearly and concisely are skills which need to be mastered if students are to succeed as lawyers. Here students will be asked to prepare or review several pieces of legal writing using plain language. Finally, students will be given the opportunity to show their research skills by writing submissions and speaking to them in a moot. |
