Reflecting on the judicial role: how valid is the analogy that ‘judges are like umpires’?

one's personal learning style in order to make sure the elearning course you choose will meet your expectations. My personal style with law is to absorb as much as I can until I can't take any more. How much depends on the topic. The three areas I found particularly tricky were Criminal law; all those definitions are so important and yet hard to commit to memory. Civil procedure is quite a labyrinth too and defamation sounds reasonably straight forward but is not that easy to grasp beyond the basic concepts. AND FINALLY… I took the Legal Foundations Course as a refresher and as a personal challenge to see if I could e-learn effectively. Unfortunately I fell into the same trap as the first time and went on holiday while the first lectures were released on the system. Will I ever learn?! Or should I say elearn?! Well one of the beauties of e-learning, is that unlike conventional lectures, the material was waiting for me upon my return. It took extra time to catch up but once I had, I tackled each new topic with gusto as soon as it became available. Personally I think I could get quite addicted to e-learning. For the most part it's just you the learner and the subject matter itself, which is the way I like it. No travel, no Tuesday evenings taken up for months, and I can organise my own tea and biscuits! So yes it's a bit of a revolution! Why don't you give it a whirl yourself… Bibliography
