Students are assumed to have successfully completed all core level 1 LLAW topics.

Written Placement Application; Oral Placement Interview; Placement Induction; Reflective Report

By enabling students to participate in one of the wide variety of ways the law is practised, and to assess and analyse their experiences with the guidance of supervisors and the topic coordinator, students will develop a critical perspective on such issues as legal ethics, professionalism, access to justice, and the role of law, lawyers, legal professionals and the legal services sector in society.

Active involvement in the work of the Placement, and feedback on their activities, will help students to assess and learn from their own performance, an ability which will continue to develop and benefit students throughout their careers.

The aims of this topic are to:

1. Give students the opportunity to examine the operation of law in society and issues of access to justice
2. Place in context the law (including procedural law) that students have been studying
3. Develop an understanding of issues that are central to being a legal professional
4. Develop the practice of self-reflection.

On completion of this topic, students will be expected to be able to:

1. Identify ethical issues within the area of legal work undertaken
2. Identify access to justice issues
3. Evaluate their own strengths and weaknesses as legal professionals
4. Learn from their experiences in an area of legal work
5. Discuss ideas about professionalism, access to justice, self-awareness, and legal ethics
6. Appreciate the differences between professional ethics and personal morality
7. Articulate their progress as self-reflective learners
8. Conduct themselves in a professional manner.
