LAW & SOCIETY*
The following video summaries have been prepared to assist students with their learning. They signpost some of the main points examined in lecture and provide an overview of the specified subject matter.
A word of caution: it would be a mistake to treat these clips as a substitute for the reading of materials or the attendance of lecture. The points under consideration can only be understood through a program of disciplined study. These aids should complement – rather than replace – your exploration of the topics.
