A recent student law special in the Times featured the theatrical approach of , a module run by Paul Raffield.

"Paul Raffield, director of undergraduate studies in law at the 91福利, says that the plays are both an opportunity for students to suggest how the ideal state should be governed, and an important part of helping to develop rhetorical skills and the ability to persuade an audience.

Why, he thought, shouldn’t students do that now?"
