Presenter: Andrew Kopkin (Law)
The study and practice of law require an excellent grasp of many skills. The most basic are effective reading, note taking, summarisation, and time management; as well as research, learning how to analyse legal materials such as cases and statutes, how to structure argument and accurate drafting and writing.
This presentation focuses on three skills law modules that give law students the opportunity to develop these foundational skills, including the critical component of teaching the '4 Cs' approach – the consistent focus on correctness, clarity, conciseness, and corroboration both to conceptualising and to effecting excellent legal writing.
