LAW Platform Launch 6 juni 2024

Tijdens de eerste bijeenkomst, 6 juni 2024, lanceerden we het LAW Platform, een landelijk interactief platform voor docenten werkzaam in het universitair juridisch onderwijs. Het LAW Platform richt zich op het uitwisselen van kennis en ervaring over activerende werkvormen en beoogt docenten van rechtenfaculteiten op jaarlijkse basis samen te brengen om te spreken over onderwijsontwikkelingen en best practices. Het delen van onderwijsmaterialen en activerende werkvormen kan via een formulier of door te mailen naar m.c.m.geuskens@vu.nl Na de eerste workshop aan de VU, zal een tweede workshop plaatsvinden in Utrecht (in 2025), en zo geven we telkens het stokje door. Voor vragen kunt u contact opnemen met Machteld Geuskens m.c.m.geuskens@vu.nl During the meeting on 6th June 2024, we launched the LAW Platform, a national interactive platform for teachers working in university legal education. The LAW Platform focuses on exchanging knowledge and experience about activating working methods and aims to bring together lecturers from law faculties on an annual basis to discuss educational developments and best practices. Sharing educational materials and specifically methods that activate students can be done via a form or by emailing m.c.m.geuskens@vu.nl After the first workshop at the VU, a second workshop will take place in Utrecht (in 2025), as we pass the baton each time. If you have any questions, please contact Machteld Geuskens m.c.m.geuskens@vu.nl

Law, Imagination and Poetry: Using Poetry as a Means of Learning.

As a lecturer in legal theory, I often hear the complaint from students that reflexive law courses are rather vague (by which students mean abstract). They find it difficult to grasp the theoretical literature. At the same time, many students do acknowledge that in these courses they are ‘allowed to think’ and ‘allowed to have an opinion’. It is up to us as lecturers to show that these courses are relevant and to coach students to deal with the level of abstraction. To tackle the ‘double problem’ of vagueness and irrelevance, I conducted an experiment, inspired by James Boyd White, in which students were asked to report on a philosophical text by means of a poem, in which they had to project the essence of the text unto contemporary (world) politics. The experiment had a dual goal: I sought to challenge students to read a philosophical text differently with the aim of challenging students to think about the text differently, more critically, and analyse its relevance to contemporary problems in (world) politics and law, to discover their own position – their sovereign voice. In this publication you can find the poetry exercise and a link to the article.

Students' Research for Society

This project expands the ‘existing circle’ of the role, societal relevance and impact of the work of the University. Why wait until students graduate and contribute to society in their professional activities? Let us not wase good students’ research! For instance, if your student has written a good paper on how to combat climate change in the court room, ensure that it reaches relevant societal actors such as NGOs, law firms or the government! We created a comprehensive overview of possible channels of how students’ research results can have societal impact (research, teaching, societal outreach). On this website, we offer a number of ideas that have been initiated by teachers at Utrecht University as part of ongoing courses or extra curriculum.
