Writing in the September 1925 preface to the first edition he said:
- [Finding Space for Socio-Legal Perspectives in the Land Law Curriculum](https://www.netlap.org/finding-space-for-socio-legal-perspectives-in-the-land-law-curriculum): Legal education faces a time of change. The inception of the solicitors qualifying exam and the death of the LPC will doubtless impact on curriculum design in law schools. The qualifying law degree does not yet face extinction as it provides a first step for aspiring barristers. The ever increasing cost of university education encourages students (and their parents) to focus their attention on the career enhancing potential of a degree, rather than the opportunity for personal and intellectual development afforded by Higher Education. Students will increasingly look at destination data with a particular focus on starting salaries in choosing both university and course of study. Whilst there is no requirement for university law schools to prepare students for the legal profession (beyond compliance with the requirements of the qualifying law degree, where this applies), students must be recruited and employability is an important marketing tool. The effect of these changes and the resultant pressure is that the tension between vocational and liberal legal education may well increase.  
- [Teaching Property Law](https://www.netlap.org/teaching-property-law): Property law generally, and land law in particular, poses a problem for anyone who proposes to teach the subject. The substantive law is fairly complex and not intuitive, and the reasons the law is important are various and not always obvious. The law needs to be complex as third parties are affected by property transactions, and property is necessary for human life. Most land is also in practical terms indestructible, which generates problems of coordination over time. Property law is important because it is a major feature of the rule of law, it can facilitate or obstruct economic success, and its distribution in a society is a major question of distributive justice. Property law needs to be fair as between individuals, but also efficient as a system of law. Sometimes property law throws up disputes in which two innocent parties are in dispute, and the law must decide in a just manner which innocent party suffers loss.
- [Eeyore’s Thoughts on the Solicitors Qualifying Examination](https://www.netlap.org/eeyores-thoughts-on-the-solicitors-qualifying-examination): As I get older (or perhaps wiser?) the gravitational pull of progress seems to bear more heavily on me. Given I am aware of my wariness of change I try to approach it with an open mind but I have to admit that I am struggling to see the benefits of the SQE. While I understand the SRA’s motives in trying to create a more uniform measure of the skills of graduates, brandishing a very large hammer to crack this specific nut seems unnecessary and unwise. I would say that though wouldn’t I? As an academic lawyer I am naturally concerned about the SQE’s potential to sound the death knell for law as an academic subject. An overreaction you might say but the proposed response of a number of higher education institutions is to offer of an optional pathway to the SQE. This has the potential to result in a diminution of academic autonomy and the creation of a one size fits all approach to educating nascent legal thinkers. However, while some may, for this reason, view the SQE as a threat, others will see it as an opportunity. In many ways, ‘teaching to the test’, particularly someone else’s test that requires students to know the what and the how of law, is simpler than trying to persuade students of the value of understanding why the law is as it is. The SQE will, in effect, make those teaching the pathway to it equivalent to driving test instructors, teaching students not to be ‘good’ drivers but simply good enough to pass the test. Similarly, consumers (sorry, ‘students’), will choose their provider, not on the basis of the student experience or the expertise of those teaching them but, on the pass/fail rate of previous students who went on to take SQE1.
- [Assessing Land Law Using Online Testing](https://www.netlap.org/assessing-land-law-using-online-testing): With the advent of the SQE, which will have a large component of online assessment, it seems a sensible time to examine the benefits and drawbacks of this method.
- [The Law Commission and the Teaching of Land Law](https://www.netlap.org/the-law-commission-and-the-teaching-of-land-law): In this contribution I consider how law reform and, particularly, the work of the Law Commission, can be used in teaching land law. After my appointment at the Law Commission, I continued to lecture land law for a term, during which I became ever more conscious of the extent to which Law Commission recommendations have shaped the topics that we teach. From formalities and trusts of land, through to easements and covenants, mortgages and, of course, the Land Registration Act 2002, the Law Commission’s work – implemented, soon to be implemented, rejected, under consideration and on-going - permeates the syllabus.  We encourage students to read Law Commission consultations and reports, to see the direction of the law, past, present and possible future, and to understand how and why the law has (or may) change.

- [Re-imagining Land Law](https://www.netlap.org/resources/re-imagining-land-law): On the 26th September 2017, Emily Carroll organised a one day workshop at Birmingham Law School, sponsored by the Centre for Professional Legal Education and Research (CEPLER) with the aim of re-imagining the teaching of land law. The workshop was an opportunity to reflect on the changes in government, society and the legal market, which potentially shape the organisation, aims and delivery of legal education.Land law provides one of the clearest opportunities to consider the cultural and political context of legal regulation and to develop an insight and criticality about the basic principles of these legal systems in students and yet the SRA’s introduction of the Solicitors Qualification Exam has thrown the teaching of land law into the spotlight. Should the practice of land law have any bearing on the land law curriculum? And, if so, how might regulatory change impact on the content and method of teaching land law?
- [Contact](https://www.netlap.org/contact): By joining NETLAP, you will gain access to free information and resources, such as presentation slides from events, which currently includes the Re-imagining Conference held in September 2017 and information on the topics commonly taught as part of the LLB programme. It is the intention that the NETLAP website will become, over time, a central point to collect materials and resources related to the teaching and assessment of land and property law, and to be a useful support to anyone teaching in this area.
