Law Buddy

Year 8 students get to grips with the Law (Whole School - 10/03/2014)

During week commencing 3^rd March 2014 NUSA students worked with IntoUniversity staff and trained University of Nottingham volunteers on a Law themed project. More specifically, students enhanced their Law subject knowledge with the aid of some trained experts. In addition students learnt about life in Higher Education, which was brought to life by a whole day visit to the University of Nottingham.

Students could not help but be engaged by a variety of workshops over the two days, which included a fascinating role play activity, which required the students to become personal injury lawyers. Other workshop highlights included a look into advertisement law, delivered by a University of Nottingham academic. During this workshop, students were commissioned to run a legitimate advertising campaign on behalf of ‘Charlie’s Chocolates.’

The days were intertwined, with support from University of Nottingham ‘Buddy’s’ who informed and dispelled myths relating to university education. Some common themes discussed, included budgeting, student loans, accommodation and course content.
