Skills Development

The School of Law supports a variety of extracurricular activity designed to provide students with opportunities to develop a range of useful skills. Some of these activities can can be used to attain DegreePlus accreditation.

MOOTING

Through participation in the Mooting programme students develop advocacy and research skills, communication and analysis skills, problem solving skills and develop the ability to think on their feet.  All skills which help with academic learning and enhance future career prospects. 

The programme, run in conjunction with the Student Law Society has is a long and successful history with previous successes including winners of the NSLS Mooting, finalists in the OUP Mooting competition and most recently winning The Belfast Moot Final which had a judging panel consisting of 5 supreme Court Justices.


STREET LAW

The emphasis in Street Law is on clinical legal education with students undertaking real or simulated legal work under supervision of practising lawyers and then given the opportunity to review critically that experience and reflect on the outcome.

Students on the programme also have the opportunity to identify a matter of legal concern, research relevant material with a view ultimately to presenting their findings to a selected audience in a user-friendly format.


LAWPOD

LawPod is an award-winning weekly podcast produced Richard Summerville , that gives students and staff a platform to explore law and legal research in an engaging and scholarly way. It provides reflective commentary on current events, insights into the current research being conducted within the school, and a forum for staff, guest speakers and students to share ideas. Staff and students collaborate in its creation, with students encouraged to take the leading roles.

The current Directors are Dr Rosie Cowan and Dr Peter Doran.

You can find the published output of the podcast, including details and recordings of more than 190 episodes, here http://lawpod.org


Exploring Law Forum

ELF aims to bridge the gap between black letter law and everyday life. We want to build a community in the School where students can think critically and creatively about the law, all while honing essential skills. ELF enables students to define their own interest in law and legal practice beyond textbooks. In practice, this means looking at how justice, equality work in the everyday and how the law can be changed, transformed, and critiqued. We do this through a variety of skill-based and creative activities, from voice coaching workshops, book clubs, film events and tech panels.
