The article is based on the research conducted by Gillespie and Watt published elsewhere (Gillespie and Watt, 2006). It is not, however, a rehearsal of the research, but rather seeks to build on the findings by questioning the use of mooting within the curriculum.","PeriodicalId":107403,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Commonwealth Law and Legal Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125620910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Part of this process has been the solicitation of the views of students with regard to numerous aspects of university provision. The profile of student evaluation as a measure of the effectiveness of university provision has been raised in recent years: the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), the government, and the National Union of Students (NUS) in particular have given special prominence to this, culminating in the National Student Survey. These bodies appear to regard the opinions of students as a valuable indicator of the quality of university provision and thus as a source of useful information for stakeholders, especially prospective students. This article examines the concept of student evaluation, rather than any particular manifestation of it, and explores some of its implications for legal education. 1 An earlier version was given at t...","PeriodicalId":107403,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Commonwealth Law and Legal Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132584665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, curriculum reform is an administrative process and so is well suited to ideas of leadership. Second, legal academics should strive, in the many facets of their career, both to behave as professionals and to model professionalism to others, and leadership is an element of that professionalism. Curriculum reform therefore presents an important, if underappreciated, opportunity for legal academics to take up a leadership role. Leading a process of curriculum reform can be difficult, but there are several ways in which legal academics can improve the chances of a successful outcome.","PeriodicalId":107403,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Commonwealth Law and Legal Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117325389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In that year, the government introduced legislative reforms aimed at reducing state interference in the regulation of industrial relations by democratising labour and complying with the International Labour Organization (ILO) requirements. The changes would appear to have given more impetus to collective bargaining as a crucial mechanism in the determination of wages and other terms and conditions of the employment of workers. However, there are other areas where the law seems to have rolled back workers' rights. This article is a critical assessment of the extent to which the new law affects workers' freedom of association in Nigeria. The discussion centres on three key changes brought about by the Act, namely membership of trade unions, collective bargaining and the right to strike. This article argues that significant aspects of the law still unduly restrict workers' freedom of association and tha...","PeriodicalId":107403,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Commonwealth Law and Legal Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116005620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article I examine some of the principal teaching challenges faced by South African private law academics in consequence of the constitutionalisation of private law, as well as a number of solutions to these challenges.

There are a wide variety of teaching methods available to human rights educators apart from the usual lecture method. The most successful teaching techniques, however, involve interactive exercises, especially those that rely on experiential learning by the participants. The writer has found that best way to teach human rights is to use the Street Law technique which draws on the experiences of the participants and relates their experiences to the national, regional and international human rights instruments available to protect them. This will not only assist them to remember the importance of the human rights taught, but will also enable them to understand their practical application.","PeriodicalId":107403,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Commonwealth Law and Legal Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133241064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, most countries of the world, including most Commonwealth countries, take especial interest in the training of lawyers and the regulation of the legal profession. Importantly, most Commonwealth countries have local institutions for the academic and professional training of lawyers. However, in the Republic of Cyprus, the local training of lawyers, especially with regard to the academic stage, is only just beginning. Similarly, the professional stage, although existing for a fairly long time, is arguably at its early stages of development. This article seeks to show how legal education is just beginning to develop in the Republic of Cyprus, as well as the challenges ahead.

Its focus is the way in which universities teach statutory interpretation. Although statutes are now the pre-eminent source of law throughout the Commonwealth, it appears that their interpretation forms, at most, half of a core subject early on in an undergraduate law degree. This must change. Students should, of course, receive a brief introduction to statutory interpretation at the outset of their studies. However, they should also take a core subject late in their degrees to ensure that, as lawyers, they will be able to master any statute they encounter.","PeriodicalId":107403,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Commonwealth Law and Legal Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129420517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of the time, this attention focuses on the economic dimensions of the Agreement, while forgetting that the co‐operation partnerships that the Agreement generates are meant to be centred on human rights and human development rather than on economic development per se. This article evaluates the human rights potential of the Cotonou Agreement and of the development co‐operation policies initiated between the ACP countries and the EU under this agreement. First, the article looks at the EU regulatory framework and the place of the Lome Conventions in the human rights and trade debate, as well as in the generation of the Cotonou Agreement. Next, the article presents those elements of the Cotonou Agreement that reveal a potential for enhanced human rights realisation in the ACP countries. Through the Cotonou Agreement the participation and integration of the ACP countries in the global market economy is not only ‘footnoted’ with human rights rhetoric, but also infused with human rights principles and human development standards. Last, the shortcomings inherent in the Agreement are identified and assessed, and the implications of these shortcomings for the realisation of human rights and development are highlighted in the conclusions.","PeriodicalId":107403,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Commonwealth Law and Legal Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129310813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
