QUESTION1:
1.1. "Learning by doing" is a pedagogical approach that emphasizes hands-on experiences as a way
to acquire new skills and knowledge. This approach is highly relevant for law students, as it can
help them develop practical skills that are essential for success in the legal profession.
Here are some reasons why "learning by doing" is particularly relevant for law students:
- Practical skills development: While law students spend a lot of time learning legal theory
and case law, it's important for them to also develop practical skills that are essential for
practicing law. These skills include legal research, writing, oral advocacy, negotiation, and
client counseling. "Learning by doing" can provide law students with opportunities to
develop and practice these skills in a real-world context.
- Experiential learning: Law students can benefit from experiential learning opportunities
that allow them to apply their knowledge and skills to real-world scenarios. This type of
learning can help them gain a deeper understanding of legal concepts and their practical
applications.
- Professional networking: Many "learning by doing" opportunities allow law students to
interact with legal professionals, including attorneys, judges, and other legal experts. These
interactions can help students build professional relationships and gain valuable insights
into the legal profession.
- Career preparation: "Learning by doing" can help law students prepare for their future
careers by providing them with practical experience and skills that are highly valued by
employers. Students who participate in experiential learning opportunities may have an
advantage when it comes to finding employment after graduation.
1.2. The Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) of 2000, which is an Act of the South
African Parliament.
a) Preamble: The preamble of the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) sets out the
purpose and objectives of the legislation. It provides a brief historical background of the right
to access information in South Africa, and explains that the Act is intended to promote
transparency, accountability, and good governance by giving effect to the constitutional right of
access to information.
