A pedagogical research project
by Cormac McGrath, Annelie
Gunnerstad, Asa Örnberg, and
Christine Storr
Exploring ways to use digital tools in legal education and training students in legal method and legal decision making.
Virtual law cases (VLCs) are used to teach and learn legal knowledge, analytical reasoning and decision-making skills in a safe environment without real-life repercussions.
Early evidence suggests that colleagues and legal experts are confident that using VLCs is a valuable way to teach legal reasoning and decision-making,and that VLCs offer students a tool that allows them to see how legal fields are
interconnected.
