The portion of the overall mark allocated to performance/participation in inter-active in class activities will be assessed on the quality of the participation. To enable the full benefit to be obtained from this course, students should attend all of the classes and activities.

Readings will be assigned for every week. Students must come prepared for the "lectures": These lectures/classes will be highly interactive in nature, and students must participate in class. Sitting silently and taking notes in class is not acceptable for this course. In addition, students should not expect detailed PowerPoints. PPTs, if used, will be kept to a bare minimum.

Assessment will be formative to enable students to demonstrate their capacity to understand, analyse and apply rules and principles, with an inquiring mind and critical approach. They will be summative to assess students' ability to synthesise primary and secondary materials to solve novel problems, investigating at the same time adequacy of existing legal framework and the need for any improvements or innovation.
