20.000 Credyd neu 10.000 Credyd ECTS

Semester 1 a 2

Trefnydd: Mr Stephen Clear

Amcanion cyffredinol

Legal Skills equips you with the necessary knowledge to succeed within your legal studies. Within this module you will practice and develop your research, referencing, writing, problem-solving, advocacy, presentation and communication skills, all of which are key to being a successful law student. You will also have exposure to guest speakers from both academia and those working within legal practice.

The first semester of Legal Skills is concerned with skills development, including effective note taking; case note writing; article critiquing; research and citations skills, and essay writing. The first semester will also cover employability and careers development. Information literacy skills are a key component of the early part of the module, with specific training in the effective use of both print (hard copy) resources, and the law databases (electronic resources) as used by both law students and law practitioners alike.

The module aims for semester one are:

  1. To introduce students to practical legal study skills.
  2. To afford students an opportunity to develop their legal reasoning skills.
  3. To afford students an opportunity to enhance their legal analysis skills.
  4. To enhance students commercial awareness and employability.

The second semester of Legal Skills is concerned with mooting (advocacy skills), and revision/exam techniques. Semester two explores mooting research skills and methods, assessments based on legal argument (in terms of content and structure), analysis of problem questions, as well as the critical application of primary and secondary sources of law, and advocacy skills.

The module aims for semester two are:

  1. To provide students with an introduction to mooting (through workshops, lectures and small group activities).
  2. To enable students to gain a further in-depth understanding of the legal system of England and Wales.
  3. To afford students the opportunity to practically apply the laws learnt in Public Law to a scenario, problem question style assessment.
  4. To discuss revision and exam preparation techniques.

Cynnwys cwrs

This module introduces learners to practical legal study skills via a series of lectures and workshops which include, but are not limited to: effective note-taking, legal essay writing, legal problem solving, presenting an argument, mooting, effective time management, and revision and exam techniques. Students will be guided in the effective application of these skills to: 1) researching the law (using the law library, on-line sources, finding legislation, finding cases etc.); 2) reading the law (reading legislation, reading law reports, reading academic legal literature etc.); and 3) constructing, analysing, evaluating and defending written and oral legal arguments.
