Comments from people who have done these courses
Please note that, due to increasingly stringent requirements from these bodies, there is now a simple test
required for this course.
You can see the questions here.
(You can see the questions before purchasing the course).
I am happy to accept orders by email - just give me your name, firm/chambers,
postal address and phone number and I will send you the printed part of the
material with an invoice. (You use the printed material together with a special
area of my web site to do the Studies).
Five Internet Studies with an international flavour.
Study One - Most Important Legal Sites in Europe and particularly in Ireland
The Study looks at the most important sites in Europe - the Europa site,
the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Council of Europe,
the European Court of Human Rights (particularly the searchable database of
Human Rights Opinions) and the International Court of Justice.
The study then looks at Irish legal sites in particular.
Study Two - Most Important Legal Sites across the World
The Study starts with the Australian Legal Information Institute (AustLII)
which has become the model worldwide for the dissemination of free legal information,
including the British and Irish Legal Information Institute, BAILII. It then looks
at important sites in the USA and also gives some tips as to how to find Legal
Information in other countries, using a number of worldwide legal "compendium" sites.
Study Three - Specifically Scottish Legal Sites
The Scottish Parliament has been in operation for several years now and the
study looks at the way it is presenting Parliamentary Information. The study
also looks at Scottish Legislation and the Scottish Courts Website. The Scottish
Law Society site is covered as well as the Scottish Advocates site, other Governmental
sites and sources of Legal News.
Study Four - Legal Resources Provided by Barristers
Several barristers and chambers are now providing very useful legal
resources on the web. These include case summaries and reports on employment
law, tax law, family law, harassment law, regulatory law and Human Rights.
Study Five - Marketing on the Web
In the early days of the Internet, it was enough just to have a web site.
Now, with so many firms and chambers on the web, it is increasingly difficult
to be found on the search engines. The study looks at how to build the right
keywords into the site, whether special domain names are helpful and how to register
the site in the search engines. The study also looks at some of the new marketing
sites, which charge firms a fee to be included.
Earn your CPD!
The Studies qualify for 5 CPD hours from the Law Society for England & Wales and the Bar Council.
