Elected members of the Laws Studies Board
All Laws Academic staff are members of the LSB. Mr Nathan Scott will be the Academic Chair for 2009-10.
At the start of the new Academic Year (in accord with the constitution of the Laws Studies Board) each class - whether it be AS Law, A2 Criminal Law, AS Citizenship,
ILEX Paralegal, Laws Research, AS Politics and/or A2 Politics - will be entitled to have a student representative on the
Laws Studies Board. All academic staff, working within the Department, will be entitled
to attend and contribute to meetings of the Laws Studies Board.
Accordingly, elections for positions on the LSB will take place in the first few weeks of term. Any student should be able to volunteer - and/or be nominated -
to be elected by their classmates to be the class representative on the Laws
Studies Board. In addition, staff have powers to nominate
up to two students to the Studies Board (these
could be students that display a keen interest - but, due to competition, were
not elected by their fellow students).
The Laws Studies Board is expected to meet no more
than twice per term - i.e. in one of the lunch time blocks (an EXEAT will be needed for some students - or they could send a substitute from the same class). The Board will
be encouraged to discuss a variety of issues affecting students - with students
and staff having the opportunity to establish agenda issues varying from
syllabus options/changes, homework issues, book selection, and student
involvement in any "micro-lessons" (these occur when
potential staff are being interviewed). However,
it needs to be made clear that the Laws Studies Board is a
"consultation forum only" - it does not deal with disciplinary or
confidential issues (which are the prerogative
of the academic staff) and it does not have powers to veto, or delay, any
decisions of the staff or the College.
In due course, it is hoped that minutes of meetings
of the Laws Studies Board will be made available via this page.
Any queries - please see Dr Jepson.
