Educational benefit of participating in this Law Programme

Everyday law should be part of education. The course demystifies the law. It helps people gain an understanding of how Irish Law works and widens their knowledge of the legal system in the context of a court trial.

Participants develop their presentation and reasoning skills as well as their ability to think on their feet. Their confidence grows and a team spirit is created among those taking part.
