The tourism potential in the Sampang Regency area is very good, one of which is rice tourism in Ataman village. Padi tourism offers beautiful views with typical village culinary attractions. However, in rice tourism there are still problems such as visitors not respecting the cultural values ​​and beliefs of the local community and managers also do not have tourist regulations. Therefore, this results in a decrease in tourist visitors so that the contribution of PADes automatically decreases. The research method used is empirical juridical research with a field study approach. Data collection in this research uses several methods including interviews, observation and literature search. The research location is Taman Village, Jrengik District, Sampang Regency. The data analysis method used in this research is descriptive-qualitative. The results of research during the MBKM KKNT show that the management of Rice Fields Tourism in Taman Village is still not well organized, considering that the management pattern of facilities and infrastructure is still lacking, especially the management does not have rules for tourist visitors, so tourism is quite quiet so that PADes decreases. Therefore, the MBKM KKNT program created a legal education program regarding the protection of tourist visitors within the framework of preventive protection. The results are quite satisfactory from the results of the socialization showing that understanding of village officials, tourism managers, the community and tourist visitors has increased, especially understanding of the substance of the Tourism Law and the Village Law. Apart from that, the management makes rules for issuing visitors based on statutory regulations and the management is improved gradually, so that tourist visitors will gradually increase and the Village Paddy will automatically increase and this will all make the Taman Village community prosperous.

True Justice through deep listening on Country: decolonising legal education in Australia

This article examines the impact of True Justice, a unique continuing legal education programme introduced in 2022 to increase cultural competency in legal practitioners. The programme achieves its purpose via the incorporation of First Nations principles and pedagogies, taking participants beyond the university classroom to learn deep listening on Country. The feedback from participants in the programme in April and May 2022 reveals the powerful experiences that are possible when the university classroom is abandoned in favour of place-based, trauma-informed learning. Incorporating not only First Nations perspectives but also pedagogies is particularly important in the legal profession, where, if these are ignored, practitioners and educators risk reproducing colonial models.

Peace and Conflict Transformation Through the Clinical Legal Education Programme

Clinical Legal Education came to Nigeria, first, as a solution to remedy the effects of epileptic access to justice and, further, to develop law students’ professional skills through rendering free legal services to indigent members of society. It was not received into the Nigerian legal pedagogy without some level of resistance, however with consistent lobbying it was eventually incorporated. The Clinical Legal Education program began with just five pilot university law clinics to implement the components of Clinical Legal Education. Despite this relatively small number, the program was able to satisfy its immediate objectives, pending other universities that could not resist the need to benefit from the program inculcated it into their legal pedagogy. Consequently, Nigeria now has 21 active university law clinics rendering free legal services to indigent persons and teaching community members about their legal rights. Offering free legal services and educating community members about their legal rights are not the end of the benefits of Clinical Legal Education. There are many other benefits that are derived from the Clinical Legal Education program and in this paper, as way of just one example, I examine the ways in which clinical legal education is helping to curb communal violence.

К вопросу об условиях формирования правовой культуры и правосознания современного молодого поколения в Российской Федерации

In the paper the analysis of the conditions for the formation of legal culture and legal awareness of the modern young generation is carried out. The features of the implementation of legal education programs in Russia are shown. The causes of nihilism in Russian society are revealed. The analysis of government programs is given. A variant of the development of national programs to improve the legal culture of the modern young generation is proposed. The relevance of the issue of national legal consciousness, the definition of socio-legal values in society is substantiated. The inextricable connection with the legal education of the individual and at the same time – the legal formation of the citizen, which is directly law enforcement activity, is shown. Legal education is understood as the joint activity of the state and society to transfer accumulated legal knowledge, liberal democratic ideals, and national legal culture from one generation to another. The process of education of national legal consciousness is shown as a multifaceted phenomenon that determines the peculiarities of the development of legal culture in society. Legal education is considered with such ethical standards of behavior as attention to people, willingness to cooperate and friendship, assistance to those in need, respect for others, the role of legal propaganda through advertising, social videos, and mass media is also given great importance. As the reasons preventing citizens from defending their rights and freedoms, both the low level of legal culture of society and distrust of power structures were singled out. At the same time, special emphasis was placed on the lack of knowledge among citizens about the existing human rights mechanisms, and as a result – the inability to defend their rights legally. The definition of the process of education of national legal consciousness is given – as a multifaceted phenomenon that determines the peculiarities of the development of legal culture in society. Special attention is paid to the process of globalization and digitalization, which have covered all aspects of society, and have a direct impact on the worldview of society.

Measuring the Impact of Clinic Participation on Law Graduates: A Small Case Study

In an academic environment where there is an increasing emphasis on impact, it is rather surprising that there is a paucity of studies on the effect (if any) of participation in a clinical legal education programme on the career trajectory of law graduates. In this article, after considering the methodologies behind and outcomes of two such studies conducted in North America, the author describes how he devised a survey, which was sent to a group of law students at the University of Galway’s externship-based clinical programme it its pilot year, and analyses the responses. In short, this study – like the other two – suggests that clinic participation has a marked impact on lawyers in terms of enhancing practical legal skills, but a less significant impact when it comes to inspiring graduates to embark upon public interest-oriented legal careers or undertake pro bono work. The article acknowledges that there are myriad factors influencing these choices and that it is foolish to extrapolate excessively from these studies. It concludes by arguing that, no matter these “failings” with respect to the social justice imperative that helps define clinical legal education, the capacity of programmes to equip future lawyers with key skills and to instil in them, at the very least, a cognisance of the shortcomings of the law and legal system means that our work is still eminently worthwhile.

A Kantian Moral Cosmopolitan Approach to Teaching Professional Legal Ethics

AbstractThis article argues that given the globalization of legal education and legal services, professional legal ethics should incorporate not only a cosmopolitan dimension but also sentiments such as compassion, respect, and sensitivity for human suffering. Inspired by the philosophy of Immanuel Kant and his theory of education, this article seeks to address some of the limitations of the professional codes of conduct for barristers and solicitors, in England and Wales, by applying a moral cosmopolitan approach to the teaching of professional legal ethics. This normative approach is underscored by a commitment to moral duties to persons irrespective of their nationality, gender, religion, or any other defining characteristic. These duties include promoting client autonomy and engaging in law reform. This article also argues that Clinical Legal Education programs are an appropriate methodology for teaching moral cosmopolitan ethics.

Interactive Technologies in the Educational Space of the Higher School

The relevance of the work is determined by the opportunity to use the case study method in the practice of clinical legal education using a strategy, which is based on a comprehensive analysis of individual cases of human interaction and solving problems through the application of professional methods. The nature of the method is interdisciplinary, which allows students to develop the ability to navigate issues that reflect professional orientation. The research aims to develop and implement interactive teaching methods to elaborate the fundamentally important qualities of future lawyers: (1) ability to understand interlocutors, their psychological characteristics, needs, motives, and personality states; (2) ability to change the communication style depending on the prevailing circumstances; and (3) ability to reach compromises, cooperation, and the development of agreements. The results of the application of the case study method have made it possible to provide psychological support for the program and practice of clinical legal education and contributed to the inclusion of psychological means of cognition in the legal sphere of knowledge.

Legal popularization and legal education for community models through clinical legal education – practice at law schools in Southern Vietnam

The legal dissemination and legal aid to the residential community is a typical activity in the program of Clinical Legal Education in law schools. In Vietnam, practical legal education programs have been implemented officially at Vietnamese law schools since 2010. Besides a legal dissemination's aim, the practical legal education program contributes to consolidating law knowledge and improving soft skills for students who take part in the program directly. Up to now, the practical legal education program has succeeded in legal dissemination activities. However, the development potential of the program in the coming time is considerable but has not been implemented strongly. Therefore, this article presents an overview of the origin and content of the Clinical Legal Education and the statistics of the actual situation of implementing this program in Vietnam in recent years. The following part describes the solutions proposed to promote this program as a component connecting to the policy of socialization of work and legal education prescribed by the Law on Legal Popularization And Education 2012.

Size Matters: Chipmunks, Elephants, and The Push for Settlements

Years ago, when I was a kid lawyer, I attended a continuing legal education program that featured two of the best judges in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas discussing how they settled cases.

The longitudinal development of second language writers’ metacognitive genre awareness

Recently, scholars have begun to adopt metacognition theory as a lens for understanding how learners’ genre awareness develops over time. However, many of such studies have tended to focus on contexts involving applied linguistics training programs or English for Academic Purposes rather than professional contexts where writers are learning non-academic genres. Adopting a longitudinal case study design, the researcher investigated this issue by following six L2 English students as they learned to write a professional legal genre called the office memorandum as a part of their legal education program. Using metacognition theory as a lens, the researcher examined the focal students’ emerging metacognitive genre awareness, the domains in which they developed that awareness, and finally, how that awareness differed among individual students. Findings show that despite receiving the same classroom input, the students’ acquisition of genre knowledge was non-linear, with some learners’ developmental trajectories differing substantially both in terms of their reported awareness of the genre (i.e., metacognitive knowledge) and how they reported using that awareness when writing (i.e., metacognitive regulation). These findings are discussed in relation to future research and classroom pedagogy.

Investigating connections between teacher identity and pedagogy in a content-based classroom

Though much scholarship has investigated the nexus of language teachers' identities and classroom pedagogies, such studies often have focused on novice teachers in training or experienced practitioners who are working within university IEP or EAP program contexts. Crucially, little scholarship has examined contexts involving content-based instruction (CBI), where many times, instructors are not linguistically trained yet may adopt discipline-specific practices and/or develop their own unique methods for teaching L2 learners. The current study explores this gap, examining a CBI instructor of a legal research and writing course in an L2 English legal education program (i.e., LLM program). For 16 weeks, the researcher conducted a classroom-based ethnography to investigate how an experienced law instructor's various role identities impacted his pedagogical practices as he taught LLM students to write a legal genre called the office memorandum. Data consisted of: in-class observations, fieldnotes, artifacts (e.g., syllabi, assignments), semi-structured interviews, and a visualization reflection. The findings illustrate how three primary role identities shaped the instructor's pedagogy in ways that permeated his curriculum design and his manner of lesson presentation. Implications for L2 educators and researchers are discussed.

Ely in New Zealand

Abstract John Hart Ely’s representation-reinforcing theory of the US Constitution had a significant impact on the drafting of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990. This short article begins by recapping briefly the pathway by which that influence occurred. It then expands on earlier accounts in two ways. The first is to suggest that Ely’s influence in New Zealand illustrates the significance of American postgraduate legal education programs as a vector for the migration of constitutional ideas (although the causal relationship in this case is neither straightforward nor direct). The second is to confront more explicitly a nagging question raised by earlier scholarship: to what extent was it Ely specifically (rather than US process theories more generally) that influenced the New Zealand experience? The article suggests that, at very least, Ely’s work acted as the conduit by which the ideas underlying American process theory were transmitted into the New Zealand text. Although it is inevitably somewhat speculative, the article also suggests that it is unlikely that, in the absence of Ely, the drafters of the N.Z. Bill of Rights would have pursued a process-perfecting strategy with quite the same vigilance and systematicity.
