How We Actually Teach Law

Most legal education feels disconnected from real practice. We start with actual situations our students face, then work backward to understand the underlying principles.

Case study analysis session

Case-First Learning

Every concept starts with a real situation. We examine what went wrong in actual transactions, then build understanding from those concrete examples.

Document review workshop

Document Workshops

You'll review and markup real contracts, purchase agreements, and disclosure forms. Learn to spot the clauses that cause problems before they happen.

Regional law variations discussion

Regional Variations

Canadian property law changes significantly by province. We cover the differences that matter for your specific market and practice area.
