Description
This course is an extension of Foundations Enrichment 1 in its focus on providing support and sufficient resources to Indigenous LLB students. Students attend the Faculty's clinic, Kingsford Legal Centre (KLC), two hours each week. The clinic is a community legal centre which provides a free legal service to the local community. Students obtain first hand experience of interviewing clients, preparing legal advice, practical legal problem-solving, and other aspects of community legal practice. Students have the opportunity to experience law in a practical setting and thus gain an enhanced understanding of the general legal system, the legal aid system and the relevance of legal practice to a community. This course also has an emphasis on developing oral and written communication skills and will enhance students understanding of the legal principles, cases and theory they are studying in their first year program. Students also attend a weekly one hour tutorial in Torts to support their study, during which they review and consolidate their knowledge and discuss assignments.
