Traditional methods of teaching law such as the lecture method, Socratic method or the case method has become the predominant teaching pedagogies in most law schools. Emphasis is on teaching law students the blackletter law. However, when law students complete their formal undergraduate studies and move on to practice law, they face the crisis of being unable to cerebral the black letter law to real life situations. Applying doctrinal analysis and the observation of law teaching in Malaysia from the authors own experience as a law lecturer, the author explicates in this chapter that the reason behind this crisis is because the traditional methods merely imparts the knowledge of law to students but does not stimulate and ignite the cognitive skills which should be the ultimatum of teaching law students. Traditional methods of teaching law should be reformed. Law students should be taught to apprehend the law to real life situations or problems using the cognitive apprenticeship method. In other words, putting the learner in the driver's seat.

AbstractThe law against unfair competition is traditionally understood in countries of the Alpine legal system as extraordinary and unconventional. Unlike other legal disciplines, it does not rely on black-letter law; it is less formal and less legislatively elaborative in detail. Thus, progress and development in this area is not a matter for the legislator but for broad practically-driven doctrinal work connected to contemporary case law. When the Internet brought new opportunities in the development of business ventures, Czech law against unfair competition did not react with legislative changes but by the further development of standard interpretational patterns. In this article, we will briefly describe the grounds as well as recent related developments in the Czech law against unfair competition connected to unfair business practices on the Internet.

Early initiation of gambling has been argued to be closely correlated with placing players at higher risk of developing problem gambling behaviour in the future. The vast majority of jurisdictions, including Great Britain, attempts to eliminate minors’ access to gambling by making it illegal and by requiring gambling providers to adopt strict age-verification procedures. Despite those measures minors continue to successfully access gambling. This paper demonstrates that British legal framework suffers from many statutory loopholes. It considers weaknesses in the regulatory offences as well as enforcement deficiencies. It further highlights how the differences between black letter law, political rhetoric and practical application undermine the strength of the prohibition of gambling by minors.
