Experiential Legal Learning – Centre on experiential legal learning and the Law Library

How can we work together at a law faculty to develop teaching and learning activities to foster essential skills for future lawyers? The Centre on Experiential Legal Learning (CELL) at the Law Faculty/University of Oslo was established in 2018 and has been dedicated to promote and develop teaching and assessment methods that are experience-based and student activating. One of its main projects involves creating a skills ladder to enhance the learning progression in the Master of Laws study program. This ladder encompasses a wide range of skills necessary for a well-rounded legal professional, such as verbal communication, advocacy, writing, plain language, negotiation, cooperation, critical thinking, and digital skills.

The Law Library is a partner in CELL and is particularly highly involved in the projects concerning digital skills, artificial intelligence and digital teaching. Cooperation and engagement is key to the success of CELL and in this pre-workshop you will get to know about the experiences of cooperating with students, administration, faculty, library and pedagogical staff to experiment on how law students can learn new skills in the best way.
