Salient: An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 12, No. 6, June 24th, 1949.

[Introduction]

It is not suggested that the first result of a Law Course reform should be the quick passage of students. If mediocrity is a result then the reform has not been well judged nor has it been effective. Nevertheless some subjects are regarded as more difficult than others and not only because the subjects are themselves more complex. A useful guide to this would be the collection of student opinion some of whom agree that academic and theoretical questions which are more the concern of he student for LLM are over emphasised.

A recent article by Anton Vogt in Salient made the point that note taking is greatly overdone and discussion lacking. Cyclostyled notes with allowances for corrections made necessary by recent decisions of the Courts should be considered immediately. More discussion would be an aid to students who are often loth to discuss problems they do not understand.
