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.
