Residential Schools for External Students
The Teaching and Learning Centre
Most units offered by the Law School include optional two-day residential schools, which are held on campus at the Law School. On the teaching side, these generally involve a combination of lectures, tutorials, seminars, and other activities such as group research in the library in response to a set problem. In addition to these formal activities many students find the opportunity for social interaction with other students and teaching staff extremely valuable.
LS 400 – Honours in Law has a compulsory seminar-presentation component which ordinarily takes place at a residential school. However, other options such as video-conferencing may also be considered as an alternative. LS 480 – Advanced Legal Research, Legal Writing and Advocacy has a compulsory moot court, however, these have been held in other cities, such as Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, and by video-conference as well as in the Law School's moot court.
Residential Schools are organised by the University’s Teaching and Learning Centre, and timetabling information can be found at their web-site.
