The LLB Curriculum Project
The CHE is undertaking research to investigate the effectiveness of the LLB degree in South Africa. The LLB Curriculum Project will investigate what law graduates learn during their studies and the extent to which they are prepared for their different professional career paths. This study will also provide an opportunity to assess the impact of changes made to the LLB curriculum since 1998, particularly the introduction of the 4-year undergraduate LLB.
The project includes reviews of research into law education, interviews with key stakeholders and a large-scale electronic survey of law professionals, employers and academics in university Law faculties. The electronic survey will take place in early 2010 and the results of the research are expected to be announced in the second half of 2010.
