Tripping over thresholds: a reflection on legal andragogy

This lecture was delivered as the 2015 Annual Lord Upjohn Association of Law Teachers lecture. It explored the nature of law as a learned discipline, using the process of leading the review group responsible for writing the 2015 QAA Law Subject Benchmark Statement, but within a broader framework of threshold concepts. It considered how the process of learning the law can irreversibly transform the learner, and included a examination of liminal spaces (troublesome places in learning) in law and the teacher’s role in promoting the students’ transformation and in facilitating (nudging) their successful crossing of the legal learning threshold and meeting a learning outcome. The lecture set legal learning primarily in the undergraduate context in England and Wales, but it also included references to graduateness (in law and more widely) and commented on the place of an undergraduate law degree in the legal regulatory landscape.

Uses of Values in Legal Education

Cohabitation Rights, which failed to pass the committee stage before being prorogued and prevented from further progress through Parliament. I have found that other books which place their emphasis on equity, in direct antithesis to this publication, exhibit a tendency to be less readable and more difficult to comprehend. For me they fail to clarify the relationship between equity and trust law and I would not advocate their use in the initial stages of study. This book discusses trusts and equity from the initial viewpoint of trust law and, when reading it, it felt to me as if a breath of fresh air had infiltrated the subject and blown it high above the level of its competitors. The volume represents entry level information on this difficult field of study. It is written in easily assimilable language specifically for second and third year students and Wilson has succeeded in structuring this complex discipline to be interesting, fun, and easy to understand. She does this eminently well and I would recommend this as an essential introductory book for student study.
