Useful Information

Something I didn't discover until week 2 of this class was the amazing resources provided for free from The Courts Service (www.courts.ie) This website provides interesting statistics, explanations and links to other legal websites.

• Go to www.courts.ie, choose English, and then look at the bottom right for a section entitled 'Schools'

The best resource however is the Let's Look At The Law Teaching and Resource Pack. Designed for secondary school students, this pack contains lesson plans, dvds, scripts for Mock Trials and posters detailing the hierarchy of courts and sources of law.

It's available for free from the Courts Service.
