executive and paralegal).

You will be assessed via oral presentations, (which may be either group or individually-based), a portfolio of assessed
work including reflective practice, written assignments, seminar participation and end of semester exams. Continuous
assessment will allow you to monitor your progress on a regular basis.

The seven legal foundation subjects studied on the course are: Contract Law, Criminal Law, Equity and Trusts, Land Law,
