The Lawyers Summer School was really interesting and engaging. It gave me a real insight into being a lawyer and incredibly fun. I very much enjoyed it.

Blaise, Francis Holland School

 

In the Young Lawyers Summer School, through the two days, you are taught about two different aspects of law. The first day is criminal law where you do a theft scenario and have to solve the case to see who is guilty. On the second day you do a contract activity and in the afternoon you explore the law around human rights. It is so much fun and the teacher makes it really interesting!

I really liked the teaching of this course, the tutor is super fun and made me very comfortable. I particularly liked how she gave the real life situations to help us understand new concepts better and they have helped me remember them very clearly. I think that this course was a perfect difficulty, I could follow everything and keep up while being challenged and learning a lot at the same time. Jeanie was very kind and the group activities were full of discussion.

Alice, Mayfield Girls School

 

The teaching style was ever so engaging and inspiring. Our Tutor is clearly passionate and dedicated to her subject and I found it really motivating as it sparked further curiosity for me to venture into this subject, whilst satisfying all my burning questions about the field of Law. The slides and interactive activities were so exciting and intriguing that I found myself enjoying every moment! I really enjoyed covering both Criminal and Contract Law, whilst delving into some Civil Law, as well. I think the content was at the perfect level of challenging for it to be rewarding when you come to complete a task. As someone who is not very comfortable with speaking aloud, I felt very comfortable to do so in the space.

Martha, Neston High School

 

The teaching was excellent – I think the teacher is great and that she is well experienced in her field. She is open to ideas, opinions and respects them, as well as the students themselves. The course content was both educational and interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I think the difficulty level was just right – it was a new challenge that I had not yet experienced before. The community was made up of smart and inclusive people. I found it easy to ask about anything I was unsure of, and the teacher would explain the answers to our questions in detail.

The teaching was amazing during this course, with previously not knowing much about law before this course, I now have a greater understanding! Any time that I needed to ask a question, it would get answered well, and I wouldn’t need to put any further questions. I think the entire course stood out positively to me. The course content was just about right, all at a good level, and if there were more difficult sections, they would get brought in a more gradual way to make it easier. The learning space was welcoming, and I could easily ask any questions, and I could easily contribute!

Demyan, Cottesmore School

 

The teacher knew all the information and could explain everything very well. She knew the facts and specific cases very well and was very helpful in answering questions.

I loved learning about criminal law, especially when being on the prosecution side and debating as to why someone was guilty. In addition, I particularly enjoyed discussing about contracts and their five important use as well as coming to an agreement with a partner when discussing our interests for a contract. Furthermore, I loved sharing my ideas and though I am not so great at putting my words in a sentence, the teacher understood what I was saying and explained it in other words.

It was certainly easy to ask questions and contribute to the discussions.

The learning space was very welcoming and inclusive, the room was nice and cold during the hot temperatures, the tables were nicely set up so you could see the teacher, the board and everybody around you. It was easy to ask question and to contribute to the discussion as the teacher was always answering our questions all the time.

I really like our teacher because she makes learning very fun but still makes sure that everybody is paying full attention to what she’s saying.
