Overview

The refresher course on law titled Evolutions in Legal Pedagogy will trace recent legal developments, inform on technical innovations in order to equip law teachers to practice critical teaching in law. The rapid growth of specializations has resulted in a fragmented understanding of the legal field. In order to reverse this trend, the course has been constructed to enhance general legal understanding. To that end it aims to inform scholars of those contemporary legal developments and controversies which all scholars of law need to know irrespective of their area specialisation. The course aims to promote inter-disciplinary learning by demonstrating how the knowledge created in other disciplines can be used to deepen legal learning; and intra-disciplinary understanding by showing how developments in one field of law impacts on allied fields.
