Abstract
ABSTRACT If law was a person, what kind of person would they be? In this article I discuss the process of designing and delivering a first-year law seminar around this question. I explain how the question was leveraged towards the aims of (a) creating space for diverse perspectives and (b) developing critical thinking skills among the law students: dispositions we felt were important for law students to establish early in their legal studies. I further explain how critical pedagogy and playfulness informed the seminar structure and allowed us to design the class towards these two aims. While both student and tutor feedback on the seminar was positive, I conclude by outlining potential areas for improving the seminar design and delivery.

Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article.
