Critical Perspectives on the Scholarship of Assessment and Learning in Law: Volume 1, England

by Alison Bone and Paul Maharg (editors)

About this book

Assessment influences what law students learn and how they prepare for professional practice. This first volume in the Assessment in Legal Education series examines English experience, bringing questions about educational standards together with accounts of assessment design.

Five chapters consider standardisation and innovation, reflective digital assessment, preparation for the Bar, take-home examinations and the use of legal policy and law reform projects as assessed work. The introduction places these approaches within the changing context of legal education in England. Contributors discuss practical examples as well as the assumptions behind assessment choices, with references and information about the wider series.
