Law Practice

Casual conversation somehow spiraled into a heated debate this afternoon among a large group of upper six students gathered near the notice board and could have easily been mistaken for a brawl. Students from upstairs and around the compound rushed to the scene upon hearing the raised voices, anticipating a fight. (We all know about the tendency to run towards the fight rather than away from it.)

This was actually a heated debate between the young aspiring lawyers of the school as well as interested onlookers, bringing their points to the table to convince the crowd which law teacher was better, and even trying to decide the answer to the age old question; is it the students’ ability, the teacher’s teaching skills, or a combination of both the equals good academic results? Some made points that brought shouts of agreement, while others brought on chorused “OHhhss!!” as they played trick cards and revealed truths, much like surprising closers on law and order. Others decided to make a statement, simply dropping their points and leaving, leaving onlookers and the fired-up debaters to think about what they said.

Surely, it was good law practice.
