Abstract

Further Education ("FE") is expected to produce graduates who offer more than academic agility. The expectation is that FE should produce students who are "employable." The phrase "graduate attributes" has arisen as a means to describe the "employability" skills. But does it mean more? Can they be intergraded into different disciplines such as low? Or does modern legal education already encapsulate graduate attributes? How do we teach employability? It is within this context that one takes a critical look at the integration of graduate attributes into the curriculum of LL.B students in year two. It proposes a back to basics model of teaching which meets the expectations of various stakeholders.
