This course provides a sequence of seminars during the two half-sessions. Each seminar is designed to provide a wide range of substantive learning experiences and opportunities to gain practical research skills. During the course, students will assemble a literature survey in alignment with their research project.
At the end of the second half-session, the students will be expected to present the findings of their literature review, to establish that they have gained mastery of that body of literature, and that their proposed research would result in original contributions to legal science.
Expected Seminar Topics to be Potentially Covered, depending on staff availability:
The course will also feature a weekly pastoral session to check on various PGR activities and needs while they progress through the First Year PGR Program to better ensure optimal study progress and health and safety issues.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
