  The most enjoyable aspect of constitutional law is its fundamental importance in shaping society and governance.  It provides the bedrock principles that ensure justice, and equality.  Analysing landmark cases and understanding how constitutional principles are applied in real-world scenarios can be incredibly rewarding.  Adv.

(Constitutional law, GLR PVT School)

  I enjoyed the exercises where we worked in groups, as this allowed us to put theory into practice and also network with fellow students. (Civil procedure and trial advocacy, GLR PVT School)

• Winifred Baatseba Ditsebe

  I think the lecturer made it 10 times better.  I didn't like trial very much because I have anxiety when I have to speak in front of people but after Dr Gravett explained that it's not about who can scream the loudest I felt more confident in myself.  He was very easy to follow.  Normally I have to go back and read everything I detail after sessions but with Dr Gravett, it was like knowledge I had known for years because he was so thorough and clear with his explanations.  It was unfortunate when I found out we won't be seeing him again in any of the other modules.  He just gained himself a fan! (Civil procedure and trial advocacy, GLR PVT School)

• Michelle De Wet

  The lecturer was excellently prepared for the class.  He was well informed about everyday happenings and the newest updates on case law and law.  The fact that he shared his notes on the examination of witnesses helped tremendously.  The regular breaks helped to refresh the brain.

• Matthew Joseph Nofal

  The lecturer was knowledgeable and gave a good context of the practical application of the subject. (Civil procedure and trial advocacy, GLR PVT School)

(Criminal court procedure and trial advocacy, GLR PVT School)

• Greigan Luke Cunningham Douglas

  Interesting and very challenging. (Criminal court procedure and trial advocacy, GLR PVT School)

• Madeleen Pienaar

  As this was my first in-person subject, I truly enjoyed being present at the lectures and interacting with the rest of the students and with Dr Curlewis.  Criminal procedure has always been one of my favourite fields of law and it was interesting to hear the questions and opinions of my fellow students.  As Dr Curlewis was also one of my lecturers at UP, he is a master in the criminal procedure field and I have always admired his skills and knowledge.  The GLR PVT personnel also provided a welcoming environment at the venue and made a lot of effort to treat us with snack platters and coffee during tea breaks.  It felt more like a 3-day formal conference!  I would definitely recommend to all future GLR PVT students to attend the in-person lectures, as it is absolutely worth the while.  (Criminal court procedure and trial advocacy, GLR PVT School)

• Luyanda Meluleki Hadebe

  I enjoyed the fact that the lecturer went off script and instead used his knowledge and personal experiences to explain different parts of the processes stated by the Criminal Procedure Act. (Criminal court procedure and trial advocacy, GLR PVT School)

• Thembakazi Limo

  I enjoyed this subject because it was lectured by a legal expert who showed his passion for law in each and every topic he addressed.  With his mentorship spirit, I was able to understand the practical aspects and realities of law.  He used State of Affairs cases as practical scenarios and gave legal insights that broadened my understanding of what I needed to grasp.  The emphasis on what to expect during board exams was a valuable added bonus.  I am looking forward to the day I confirm my first Section 174; I will find him to celebrate.  (Criminal court procedure and trial advocacy, GLR PVT School)

• Thabiso Moji

  The lecturer, Dr Curlewis, is extremely knowledgeable in the field of criminal procedural Law, so I really enjoyed his practical insight into the world of criminal procedure. (Criminal court procedure and trial advocacy, GLR PVT School)

• Idalene Nel

  I did not have cyber law as a subject at university, so everything was really interesting for me.  I feel I learned a lot. (Introduction to cyber law, GLR PVT School)

• Kagisho Sophy Thobejane

  As someone who works in legal tech and handles clients' sensitive information, it was fun to learn more about the legal framework and the importance of data protection.  I also liked how the lecturer stuck to the lecturer notes and did not deviate much. (Introduction to cyber law, GLR PVT School)

• Chardonay Naidoo

  I enjoyed the practical drafting during lectures to be most helpful and great experience.  Having been afforded the place and time to actually draft these agreements really helped as it provides a greater understanding and practical experience, as opposed to simply ready the notes.  Dr Van Eck was an excellent lecturer and very knowledgeable on the matter.  The study notes were also well prepared and easy to follow and understand.  (Drafting of contracts, GLR PVT School)

• Wesley Van Emmenes

  I enjoyed everything about the drafting of contracts course.  The subject was practical, engaging, and an enriching experience for young legal practitioners from start to finish.  If there is an advanced course provided by the same lecturer, I would definitely want to attend.

(Drafting of contracts, GLR PVT School)

• Dumakude Gcabashe

  The lecture was very engaging, and we did questions from past board exams to help us understand the content.  (Drafting of contracts, GLR PVT School)

• Carmen Ferreira

  I liked the exercises as well as the drafting of the lease agreement while we worked through the study material / notes.  I also liked the fact that Dr van Eck did not make her extra notes available simply because I had to make my own notes while she was presenting and it helped a lot when I was preparing myself to write the test.  I loved the fact Dr van Eck was very concerned about whether everyone understands, are still with her, are still awake and following.  Thank you, Dr van Eck for your time and the effort you put into presenting this subject perfectly.  (Drafting of contracts, GLR PVT School)

• Raquel Ezikiel

  This course was so valuable.  As someone doing articles for a conveyancing firm, I'm always looking to expand my knowledge in drafting contracts.  I don't always get the hands-on practical experience as litigation candidate attorneys do.  I've learned so much from Dr Van Eck. (Drafting of contracts, GLR PVT School)

  The lecturer was extremely coherent and structured.  I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that I could easily follow along in the prescribed material and supplement it as per the lecturer's instructions when/where necessary.  I feel much more confident going into future preparation for the ethics aspects of the board exams.  I also highly appreciated the practical practice questions that were added to the notes so that I could see how the questions may appear/and might be worded during the board exams. (Ethics for legal practitioners, GLR PVT School)

  The subject was very well introduced and presented.  I liked how Attorney Karin Van Eck stuck to her preparation plan.  She clearly had a goal and it was to complete the subject by using the study notes, starting from the first page to the last in a well-organised and controlled manner, which made it very easy to follow in the study notes.  She also frequently mentioned the page number she was on.  Her explanations were clear and precise and easy to understand.

  I love that the lecturer is a practising attorney.  She is a person who knows that what the book says is not always the reality.  I enjoyed the practical examples. (Ethics for legal practitioners, GLR PVT School)

  The subject was thorough and was explained in a practical way. (Ethics for legal practitioners, GLR PVT School)

  Dr. Adriette Dekker is a superstar.  I am unable to pick one specific thing I like most because she was consistent in captivating me on the subject.  From the recordings, it was also refreshing to hear my fellow candidate attorneys asking relevant and to-the-point questions.  Dr. Liezl Ball complimented the whole experience so well and is so quick to assist saving all of us precious time.  I never got bored once and the organisation and planning were professional.

  I’d like to comment on how well organised everything was during the first subject seeing that it was the first intake.  I’m very impressed as online learning can be very stressful. (Labour Dispute Resolution, GLR PVT School)

  The lecturer really presented the subject well and I felt that I gained a lot of useful knowledge that I can use in the field.  The course was not just academic but also practical. (Labour Dispute Resolution, GLR PVT School)
