Upsurge in interest in mooting Inspiring colleagues to do more with technology Influence & enhance learning Outcomes/benefits “…when the students knew I was representing City University they couldn‘t stop talking about Lawbore & Learnmore. Words can’t describe how happy I was to see students outside our university talk about it and use it. I couldn’t but explain to you how thankful I am of you, and all that effort we see you put-in, pays off” (Student email after the National Law Student Forum 2012)

  10. What others think! • “I think your ‘Learnmore’ website is fantastic. I’m teaching law to non-law students in a business school. Many of the students find law daunting and inaccessible, your site is a great example of how to get over that. I’ve directed my students to your ‘how to remember cases’ page, which I think is great!” (Dr Liz Oliver, Leeds University Business School). “I think they (Lawbore & Learnmore) are excellent and will be recommending them accordingly. They are very clear, easily navigated, colourful, fresh, informative, and very useful” (Prof Gary Slapper, Director of the Centre for Law, The Open University) “I begin my pupillage at the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills next September! I don’t think it’s an over-exaggeration to say that Learnmore had a significant effect by bolstering my confidence, opening me up to new ways of thinking and providing a solid platform to build on for my studies at undergraduate level and beyond” LLB3 student
