The Law Research Project requires final year law students to engage in an extended piece of legal research. General guidance is provided by the unit director and specific guidance will be provided by members of the academic staff in their areas of expertise. The unit is assessed by way of a single piece of written work of 5,000 words presenting, and engaging with, the topic in question.
By the end of this unit a successful student will be able to:
Four introductory lectures and structured contact with Project Adviser.
One 5,000 word summative essay.
The assessment will assess all of the intended learning outcomes for this unit.
Project Advisers set initial starting points for reading; thereafter students must generate their own reading and references.
