Week One: Introduction

Introduction

  • This is a collaborative class:
    • We will call upon everyone to participate in class.
    • We want to make it a practical class that gives you something more than a surface understanding of injury law.
    • For all of us to meet that goal, it is important that you all participate.
    • We base 25% of your mark on your participation, and UBC requires us to provide this mark on a curve.
    • So, your participation matters: to both your learning and to your grade!

  • Overview of course materials, readings, and grading.

  • Readings & class notes – all found on the KazLaw website under “UBC Law”, updated one week in advance of each class. Please come to class having read the *bolded* cases, ready for discussion.
