Legal education in Australia is constantly evolving to meet the needs of law students and to prepare many of them for roles in the legal profession. Examples include changes to law degree structures, optional elective units, and subjects aimed at preparing law students to be ‘workplace ready’. Law students face challenging academic requirements and law school culture that can result in greater levels of psychological distress compared to the general population. Promoting law student wellbeing and responding to high student levels of psychological distress is a key area of focus for Australian Law Schools. This article explores existing law student wellbeing studies in Australia and reports findings from an empirical exploratory study investigating the levels of depression, anxiety, and stress (DASS) using the DASS21 survey instrument in law students at a regional Australian university, James Cook University. The results from this study support earlier studies at Australian universities that show law students experience higher levels of psychological distress symptoms compared to the general population, and it is an area of concern that requires ongoing attention. Results include an exploration of the impact of factors including type of degree being studied, campus location, year of study, gender, and time spent at law school.
澳大利亚的法律教育在不断发展,以满足法律专业学生的需求,并为他们在法律职业中发挥作用做好准备。这方面的例子包括法律学位结构、选修课以及旨在培养法律专业学生 "为职场做好准备 "的科目等方面的变化。与普通人相比,法学院学生面临着具有挑战性的学术要求和法学院文化,这可能会导致他们产生更多的心理困扰。促进法学专业学生的身心健康和应对高水平的学生心理困扰是澳大利亚法学院的重点关注领域。本文探讨了澳大利亚现有的法律专业学生健康研究,并报告了一项实证探索性研究的结果,该研究使用 DASS21 调查工具,调查了澳大利亚一所地区性大学--詹姆斯库克大学法律专业学生的抑郁、焦虑和压力(DASS)水平。这项研究的结果支持了之前在澳大利亚大学进行的研究,这些研究表明,与普通人群相比,法律专业学生的心理困扰症状水平更高,这是一个需要持续关注的领域。研究结果包括对各种因素影响的探讨,其中包括所攻读学位的类型、校园位置、就读年级、性别以及在法学院就读的时间。

‘Practical’ legal education offers significant educational and personal benefits. However, it also comes with risks that need to be actively managed, including the risk of students experiencing harassment and discrimination. This article considers the scope of equality law, and how it applies to different forms of ‘practical’ legal education activities. It considers how equality law applies to ‘volunteer’ positions, including those in law firm partnerships, barristers’ chambers, and community organisations, legal internships and law school-run legal clinics. It considers the complexity of the legal framework, and the resulting difficulties law students might have in asserting their equality rights. It argues there is a particular need to address three gaps in the current legal framework for practical legal education activities, by: adopting a broader definition of ‘work’ to include unpaid roles; regulating harassment on grounds other than sex; and protecting law students from the actions of third parties, such as clients and members of the public.
实践 "法律教育为教育和个人带来了巨大的益处。然而,它也伴随着需要积极管理的风险,包括学生遭受骚扰和歧视的风险。本文探讨了平等法的范围,以及它如何适用于不同形式的 "实践性 "法律教育活动。文章探讨了平等法如何适用于 "志愿者 "职位,包括律师事务所合伙企业、大律师事务所、社区组织、法律实习和法学院开办的法律诊所。它考虑了法律框架的复杂性,以及法律专业学生在维护其平等权利时可能遇到的困难。报告认为,当前法律实践教育活动的法律框架中存在三个空白,尤其需要通过以下方式加以解决:采用更广泛的 "工作 "定义,将无报酬的角色也包括在内;对基于性别以外原因的骚扰行为进行规范;保护法律专业学生免受第三方(如客户和公众)行为的侵害。

The article documents the experience of the authors in creating and re-calibrating a compulsory legal module within a Bachelor of Social Work degree as a course in ‘legal first aid’. The article explores the pedagogical approach the authors developed, which is based on continually explaining to students the reason for studying law in a way that is tailored to skills they can use in their practical placements and profession. For social work students, the ‘legal first aid’ approach enabled them to develop confidence and skills in triaging the seriousness of particular situations, understanding what they can do in the short term, and knowing how and when to usefully engage with legal professionals. The article also illustrates the value of a participatory inquiry method when refining course aims and approaches. The article details the participatory inquiry undertaken by the students and teachers with the aim of improving future iterations of the course. The rich insights that can be obtained from a participatory inquiry method offered much more robust insights than mainstream course evaluation methods, providing clear direction for future course refinements. These insights may be useful to course coordinators of other programs who are wishing to design or redesign course content.
文章记录了作者在创建和重新调整社会工作学士学位必修法律模块作为 "法律急救 "课程方面的经验。文章探讨了作者开发的教学方法,该方法的基础是不断向学生解释学习法律的原因,并根据他们在实际实习和职业中可以使用的技能进行量身定制。对于社会工作专业的学生来说,"法律急救 "的方法使他们在分辨特定情况的严重性、了解自己在短期内能做什么以及知道如何和何时与法律专业人士进行有效接触方面培养了信心和技能。文章还说明了参与式调查法在完善课程目标和方法时的价值。文章详细介绍了学生和教师为改进课程的未来迭代而进行的参与式探究。从参与式探究方法中可以获得比主流课程评估方法更丰富的见解,为今后的课程改进提供了明确的方向。这些见解可能对其他希望设计或重新设计课程内容的课程协调员有用。

Supervising Undergraduate Law Students’ Dissertations: A Four-Step Review 指导法学本科生的论文:四步回顾
IF 0.3 Pub Date : 2024-04-09 DOI: 10.53300/001c.116313

The literature on supervision focuses primarily on postgraduate supervision. Whilst there is some scholarship on supervising undergraduates, there is essentially no scholarship on supervising undergraduate law students specifically. This article investigates undergraduate law students’ attitudes toward dissertation supervision. In 2020–2021, the lead author supervised 12 LLB(Hons) students’ 15,000-word dissertations at the University of Auckland. The supervision process was in four parts: reviewing the proposal; reviewing the introduction; reviewing the first draft (10,000 words); and reviewing the second draft (15,000 words). The authors invited the supervisees to complete a survey on their supervision experience. This article surveys the literature on the supervision of undergraduate students, describes the lead author’s supervision process, and presents and discusses the study results. Students reported that each step in the four-step review process was helpful for their dissertation progress and achieving their goals for the dissertation, and provided useful feedback that was more useful than anticipated for each step in the review process. Students also reported that they received sufficient and appropriate contact with their supervisor, and sufficient guidance from the supervisor — allowing sufficient autonomy. The article also identifies students’ perceived difficulties and reflects on ways the process could mitigate those difficulties.
有关督导的文献主要集中在研究生督导方面。虽然有一些关于本科生指导的学术研究,但基本上没有专门针对法学本科生指导的学术研究。本文调查了法学本科生对论文指导的态度。2020-2021 年,主要作者在奥克兰大学指导了 12 名法学(荣誉)学士学生 15000 字的毕业论文。指导过程分为四个部分:审阅提案;审阅引言;审阅初稿(10,000 字);审阅二稿(15,000 字)。作者邀请被督导者填写了一份督导经验调查表。本文调查了有关指导本科生的文献,描述了主要作者的指导过程,并介绍和讨论了研究结果。学生们报告说,四步评审流程中的每一步都有助于他们的论文进展和实现论文目标,而且评审流程中的每一步都提供了比预期更有用的反馈。学生们还报告说,他们与导师进行了充分和适当的接触,并得到了导师的充分指导--允许他们有充分的自主权。文章还指出了学生认为存在的困难,并思考了如何在论文评审过程中减轻这些困难。

The paper proposes a guided methodology for problem solving in a first-year undergraduate contract law module. Developed from our teaching practice and inspired by theories of computational modelling, our approach helps students to identify and extract legal information from primary and secondary sources, and to organise what they have learned into structured frameworks. The method creates scaffolding for learning and a framework through which legal issues can be identified. These frameworks can be used to locate legal information relevant to the construction of analysis and argument to the point of producing legal advice with confidence. The paper describes our approach in five distinct stages: (1) extracting doctrinal content from legal sources, (2) organising such content into a coherent framework, (3) applying the framework to problem scenarios, (4) constructing , and (5) writing up detailed, authoritative, and persuasive legal advice.. Our methodology embeds essential skills aided by a “semantic web” of concepts from which one could draw inferences, and uses computer-inspired visualisation for constructing arguments. Computational thinking allows students to visualise connections between the initial categorisation of legal information and the constitutive elements of a persuasive legal argument to articulate and demystify the process of producing legal advice.
本文提出了一种在一年级本科生合同法模块中解决问题的指导方法。我们的方法源于我们的教学实践,受计算建模理论的启发,帮助学生从主要和次要来源中识别和提取法律信息,并将所学知识组织到结构化框架中。这种方法为学习搭建了脚手架,并建立了一个可以识别法律问题的框架。这些框架可用于查找与构建分析和论证相关的法律信息,从而自信地提出法律建议。本文将我们的方法描述为五个不同的阶段:(1) 从法律资料中提取理论内容,(2) 将这些内容组织成一个连贯的框架,(3) 将框架应用于问题情景,(4) 构建和(5) 撰写详细、权威和有说服力的法律建议。我们的方法包含了基本技能,通过概念的 "语义网 "进行推论,并利用计算机启发的可视化构建论据。通过计算思维,学生可以将法律信息的初始分类与有说服力的法律论证的构成要素之间的联系可视化,从而阐明并揭开法律建议制作过程的神秘面纱。

Authentic learning and assessment, which refers to tasks and assessment practices that reflect complex, real-world situations, are a radical departure from the traditional methods of learning and assessment in Higher Education. This article considers feedback from a primary, small-scale empirical study of students taking an optional Civil Litigation and Dispute Resolution module which uses authentic learning and assessment practices. Evaluating student feedback from the module, and drawing on the existing literature, the paper concludes that introducing authentic learning and assessment opportunities in the undergraduate law degree has the potential to increase student employability, engagement, and skills development. Finally, the paper examines some of the barriers to incorporating authentic tasks in the law degree, and some “light touch” ways to introduce authentic “moments” in existing modules are explored.
真实的学习和评估是指反映复杂现实世界情况的任务和评估实践,与高等教育中的传统学习和评估方法截然不同。本文考虑了一项初级小规模实证研究的反馈,该研究针对的是选修民事诉讼和争议解决模块的学生,该模块使用了真实的学习和评估实践。通过评估学生对该模块的反馈,并借鉴现有文献,论文得出结论,在法律学士学位中引入真实的学习和评估机会有可能提高学生的就业能力、参与度和技能发展。最后,本文考察了在法学学位中引入真实任务的一些障碍,并探索了在现有模块中引入真实“时刻”的一些“轻触式”方法。

Student Evaluations of Teaching: Understanding Limitations and Advocating for a Gold Standard for Measuring Teaching Effectiveness 学生对教学的评价:理解局限性并倡导衡量教学效果的黄金标准

The arbitrator’s decision in Ryerson University v Ryerson Faculty Association [2018] CanLII 58446 (ON LA) rejected use of Student Evaluations of Teaching (SETs) for academic confirmation and promotion purposes. SETs provide largely quantitative data in response to pre-determined institutional, generic questions using a Likert scale applicable to all teaching modes. SETs may be efficient, but commonly low response rates mean the data is often statistically invalid. Studies of SETs suggest gender, age, race, and other biases are widespread, and they discourage teaching innovation because academics fear student backlash in SET scores. Consequently, SETs are of little value to academics for their professional development, confirmation or promotion, or as evidence for teaching grant or awards processes. The continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on traditional models of teaching has forced many changes in teaching, learning and pedagogy, often with a temporary suspension of SETs to allow teachers to innovate without negative impact on professional development measures. This presents a unique opportunity for us to revisit how the effectiveness of teaching and learning is measured. Academic teaching staff still need evidence of teaching effectiveness, as do sessional staff looking for continued employment and/or a career in academia. This paper discusses the strengths and weaknesses of SETs; seeks to equip law academics to advocate for other measures of teaching effectiveness that better reflect their contribution to student learning; and to pave the way for law discipline and institutional level changes that support a gold standard in measuring teaching effectiveness beyond reliance on SETs, for the benefit of teachers in law and other disciplines.
仲裁员在瑞尔森大学诉瑞尔森教师协会案【2018】中的裁决CanLII 58446(ON LA)拒绝将学生教学评估(SET)用于学术确认和晋升目的。SET使用适用于所有教学模式的Likert量表,在很大程度上提供了定量数据,以回应预先确定的机构通用问题。SET可能是有效的,但通常低响应率意味着数据在统计上往往无效。对SET的研究表明,性别、年龄、种族和其他偏见普遍存在,它们阻碍了教学创新,因为学者们担心学生在SET分数上会产生反弹。因此,SET对学术界的专业发展、确认或晋升,或作为教学拨款或奖励过程的证据,都没有什么价值。新冠肺炎疫情对传统教学模式的持续影响迫使教学、学习和教育学发生了许多变化,通常会暂时暂停SET,以允许教师在不影响专业发展措施的情况下进行创新。这为我们提供了一个独特的机会,让我们重新审视如何衡量教学的有效性。学术教职员工仍然需要教学有效性的证据,寻求继续就业和/或学术生涯的会期工作人员也是如此。本文讨论了SET的优势和劣势;力求使法律学者能够倡导其他教学有效性措施,更好地反映他们对学生学习的贡献;为法律学科和机构层面的变革铺平道路,以支持衡量教学效率的黄金标准,超越对SET的依赖,造福于法律和其他学科的教师。

Trial Advocacy and Nitojutsu 审判辩护和Nitojutsu

Miyamoto Musashi was a master Japanese swordsman. His text, the Book of Five Rings, sets out his philosophy on combat and the way of the warrior. This article takes his teachings and applies them to art of trial advocacy. The Five Scrolls of Musashi’s text allow for an engagement with the fundamental importance of preparation, the effective deployment of law and fact, awareness and professional ethics. The connections are made through the use of current experts in advocacy, including Glissan and Hampel. The use of techniques involving katana is, of course, only a metaphor – one aimed at getting law students to think of trials in a more life-or-death way. Advocacy is not the showiness of TV, but the hard grind of training and preparation that was the life of a ronin.
宫本武藏是日本剑术大师。他的著作《五环之书》阐述了他关于战斗和战士之道的哲学。本文将他的学说应用于审判辩护艺术中。武藏文本的五卷允许参与准备、法律和事实的有效部署、意识和职业道德的根本重要性。这些联系是通过利用现有的宣传专家建立的,包括Glissan和Hampel。当然,使用涉及武士刀的技术只是一种隐喻——旨在让法律系学生以一种更生死攸关的方式思考审判。宣传不是电视上的炫耀,而是一个浪人的艰苦训练和准备。

This literature review of twenty-one recent articles from China provides an overview of the nature and implementation of legal clinical education, the objectives of legal clinical education, the benefits of legal clinical education, the theory of legal clinical education, as well as the challenges faced in legal clinical education. These topics have been thoroughly addressed by Chinese scholars through the experience of approximately twenty years of practice as well as through inspiration from legal clinical education within the United States and internationally. However, there continue to be areas of disagreement and certain gaps in the development of a comprehensive theory of legal clinical education as well as psychological and pedagogical justifications for this innovative system of learning.
这篇文献综述了来自中国的21篇最新文章,概述了法律临床教育的性质和实施、法律临床教育目标、法律临床教学的好处、法律临床学习的理论以及法律临床教学面临的挑战。中国学者通过近二十年的实践经验以及美国国内外法律临床教育的启示,对这些主题进行了深入探讨。然而,在发展法律临床教育的综合理论以及为这种创新的学习体系提供心理和教学依据方面,仍然存在分歧和某些差距。
