Keynote address

David McQuoid-Mason, James Scott Wylie Professor of Law at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, spoke on the theme: 'Confucius said "I do and I understand": using your imagination to light up knowledge, skills and values for LLB students'. This paper has been divided into two parts:

1. Clinical legal education and effective lessons - focuses on the importance of using interactive teaching methods to teach effectively and creatively, illustrated via a number of imaginative ways of providing student-centred legal education.
2. Lessons from South Africa - discusses the criteria stated for the revised South African LLB programme and how these compare with the preliminary findings of a survey of law students at two South African universities regarding the knowledge, values and skills they would like to acquire during their law degrees.
