This makes it possible to be uncompromising about. excellence and to teach an intellectually rigorous and stimulating curriculum. Most learning occurs outside the classroom. What happens in class is merely the tip of the iceberg. You will be expected to assume responsibility for your own reading and learning, aided by reading guides and your instructors. You will find that classes, whenever possible, are opportunities to discuss what you've read; to evaluate it from new perspectives; and to practise skills as you acquire them. Don't expect teachers to lecture you. Your teachers will prod and probe and sometimes guide. But you must come to class ready to ask and answer questions and prepared to have your question answered by question after question! To learn the lawyer's craft you must engage yourself in it. There are other aspects to this. You will have to develop research, writing and oral skills, as well as a grasp of legal principle and methods. The advocacy program will introduce you to oral skills, forensic argument and cross-examination and the Law Students' Society runs a highly successful moot court competition each year. That should be enough to warn you that Law School is an active not a passive experience. The onus is very much on you to get what you can from the course. Make the most of your opportunity! 8 We won't, of course, let you sink. A member of staff will be assigned as your mentor to help you get to know the ropes and avoid the obvious traps - and you can call on your mentor for help whenever you need it. Further, the two law subjects which students do in first year give a gradual introduction to the methodology and skills you will need to use later in your course. Those two subjects, History and Philosophy of Law and Torts and the Process of Law, have this in common: they will teach you to read acutely and probably more critically than you have done before. They will also allow you to observe and acquire many analytical and reasoning techniques, more by osmosis than conscious design.
