I'm fully aware that it's been some time since I posted here. This is due primarily to laziness. My bad.

I failed the Legal Research assessment which has irritated me considerably. Especially since the pass I got on the Opinion was due entirely to the research I did - so in essence I'm being punished for not presenting some information in the way ICSL decide they want to see it. The excuse is that the skill of research is geared towards providing impartial information to a pupil master or leading counsel on a case. The way I see it is that by "teaching" two modules in the same period ICSL save having to pay another lecturer and timetable more classes.

Anyway - enough moaning about the shortcomings of the BVC, when ICSL loses its name and becomes the City University Law School {or whatever they call it} the overall quality of teaching will have to improve since they'll no longer be able to trade on the name alone. I just feel sorry for those good tutors who will be tarred with the brush of their less than satisfactory colleagues.

On a happier note Tony Blair is finally buggering off... I don't think I need to say any more except that I won't miss the lies, fake smiles and blood-boiling guile of that odious stain on Britain's history.
