About Me
Hi, I'm Deena. When I began writing this blog years ago, I was a fashion designer and newlywed living in Brooklyn, NY. We eventually grew a family of 5, including the dog, and moved out to the suburbs in Long Island. I'm now a stay-at-home mom who has little time to cook much, let alone blog about it! But, I hope you'll find some wonderful things in my archives - I look back often to find my favorite recipes.
I started LibraLoves as a medium through which to share the many things that I find useful or beautiful. I soon realized what this Libra loves most: Food. Being a creative and balance-seeking Libran means that I persistently strive to improve everything around me, including the food that I eat.
I am constantly experimenting with new foods, exploring the hows and whys of other cultures' food-habits, and spinning classic dishes in new directions. I come from a meat-and-potatoes background, but many of the recipes I share are vegetarian (and quite satisfying). I've also become more aware of vegan cooking, as I learn more about the benefits of avoiding meat and dairy.
This came about somewhat through my marriage to my almost polar-opposite husband. I grew up in the rural mountains of Vermont, eating meat and potatoes. In the Northeast, there's a general appreciation both for the fruits of the garden (and a very short growing season) and the occasional treat of wild game procured by a close friend or family member. Both of the above may be considered local currency, and appreciated as gifts and/or tips. As for personality, naturally, as a Libra, I enjoy music, art and a general sense of calm. An ideal day in my past, would have consisted of BBQ, making some art, and basically just sitting on the porch watching trees blow in the wind.

Eating together is the real challenge. Most of my cooking background, until recently, consisted of meat based meals surrounded by vegetables and starch. I've had formal training here and there, but none of it gave me any insight into what to cook for a vegetarian. Trying to eat at restaurants together is a whole other kind of challenge, since there still seems to be little understanding of what vegetarian really means.
Here, I share my experiences and recipes that I think make life a little more interesting. Whether you are a meat-eater, flexitarian, vegetarian, vegan, or don't even want to answer that question, I hope you'll find something useful, interesting or delicious here on my blog. I encourage you to keep an open mind, try new things, and think about what you eat and how it affects your mind, body and the world around you.

A DUI isn't the only way to end up with a license suspension.
There are 39 states in the U.S. that suspend driver's licenses because of inability to pay off court debts.
Our discussion will focus on traffic violation suspensions, specifically suspensions issued as a result of a DUI conviction. Upon conviction of a first offense DUI, they could face the following punishments:
- License suspension
- Fines up to or more than $1,000 in many instances
- Drug and alcohol program counseling
- May be required to use an interlock sobriety testing device upon restoration of driving privileges
- In some instances, jail time
License Suspension vs. Revoked License
Understanding the difference between a license suspension and a revoked license is important. While many people use the phrases interchangeably, they are two very different things. As with many "punishments," the greater the traffic violation, the greater the penalty. A conviction for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) will receive a longer license suspension than a standard speeding ticket. First offense DUI convictions often result in a 180 day (six-month) suspension. A repeat offender with multiple DUI convictions may be subject to license revocation.
A simple key point to differentiate the two is a suspended license is bad and a revoked license is very bad — a suspended license is a temporary hardship, but a revoked license is permanent.
A suspended license is temporary. There are two types of suspensions — definite and indefinite.
A definite suspension ends on a specified date — or after a specified period — after full payment of all fees and fines. Common reasons for definite suspensions are getting too many traffic tickets or operating a vehicle without proper insurance. Other moving violations such as drug and alcohol-related or DUI offenses will also result in a suspended license.
An indefinite suspension means your license will stay suspended until you complete a specified, or court-ordered, action. DUI offenses are regulated at the state level so that license suspension rules will differ from state-to-state. Many states require completion of a drug and alcohol counseling program and driver safety course before reinstating a suspended license. These program costs will be in addition to any court fees, and fines levied upon conviction. Completion of all conditions specified in a court order allows reinstatement of a suspended license.
Having your driver's license revoked means that your license is completely gone. In some states, it is possible to petition the state to regain your driving privileges, but you'll have to jump through some hoops. Paying all civil penalties and fines, and often completing the entire new license process in your state are requirements. This might include driver education classes, and retaking both the written and practical portions of your driving test.
If your license revocation is the result of multiple DUI convictions, regaining driving privileges will be more difficult.
Unexpected consequences of a license suspension.
The biggest difference to your wallet — aside from the one-time expense of fees and fines — will be to your auto insurance rates. Some states require you to obtain an SR-22 rider for your insurance. An SR-22 "is a vehicle liability insurance document required by most state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) offices for "high-risk" insurance policies." The length of time you will be required to maintain an SR-22 varies by state and the seriousness of the offense.
During your license suspension, driving is illegal. To get your license reinstated, you may be required to attend a safe driving course, defensive driving course, or a traffic school. Upon conviction of a DUI, attendance in a drug and alcohol program or AA meetings can be part of your sentence. These programs and classes will be at your expense and can cost in the hundreds of dollars. Your state will also charge you a reinstatement fee after all other conditions for reinstatement have been met.
Surviving a suspended license.
It is an inconvenience to have your driver's license suspended, but it is not the end of the world. Unless your job involves driving, the largest inconvenience is probably your daily commute to and from work. Finding a co-worker or friend that lives near you is usually the easiest fix. Offer to share fuel expenses, and most people do not mind helping out for a short period.
There are inexpensive alternatives in public transit if available in your area. Uber and Lyft can get expensive over an extended period. Either might be good in a quick pinch until you can make other arrangements, or for a trip to the supermarket. While coordinating your transportation will be a little more complicated than hopping in your car and going, it is not insurmountable.
In some instances, a person with a suspended license may appeal to the court for an occupational license or a hardship license. This provisional license allows a person to operate a vehicle under a set of strict rules. The court may allow the person to drive to and from work at set times to coincide with the individual's work hours. It may include errands to take children to and from school or to travel to the residence of a disabled family member under the individual's care.
A good resource for finding out the procedure and requirements for getting a suspended license reinstated is DMV.org (This is a privately owned website not affiliated with any state agency). The site maintains a point and click searchable database with requirements for each state. It is nearly effortless finding the information you need. You should verify all information with your state vehicle department also.
Drivers License Check
Getting caught driving with a suspended license will lead to more penalties including fines and the possible revocation of your license. If you are in an accident, your simple misdemeanor charge can escalate to a felony.
Why tempt fate? Getting caught driving on a suspended license will compound your difficulties and possibly result in revocation of your license.
When will police perform a license check?
Many municipalities perform random checkpoints, especially around holidays or after sporting events or concerts. Any time that you are involved in any type of traffic incident, police will check your driving record. Police cannot randomly pull you over and check your license — they must have a valid reason for the stop.
The practice of "discretionary license check stops" is prohibited in all states following a Supreme Court ruling in the case of Delaware v. Prouse. This means that police cannot stop a vehicle for the sole purpose of performing a license and registration check. License and registration checks must occur in conjunction with a violation of some kind. The violation can be a moving violation or an equipment violation, such as no tail light.
Knowing your rights during a vehicle stop will assist you in achieving a better outcome. If your license and vehicle registration are in order — current, not suspended, or revoked — you should be fine. If you have been drinking or indulging in other recreational pursuits, it is always best to leave the driving to someone else.

Greetings Hikers,
The Gossamer Gear Gorilla Ultralight Backpack 2012 edition has been on the market for a bit over a year now. I purchased one to give it a try and found I really loved a lot of the features of this backpack. Most of the below is from an article I wrote about a year ago on an old website I no longer use, and I wanted to get it moved over to HikeLighter.Com – so I have taken some of the below from my previous article and updated it with further thoughts after having used it a bit more.
The Gorilla has been a very popular backpack on long distance trails and it has a nice 3,000 cubic inches (46 liters) of total capacity with a 35 pound maximum carry capacity – pretty much perfect for a thru-hiker or weekend hiker that needs the extra volume.
The backpack averages 715 grams (25 ounces / 1.56 pounds) in weight, so as an UL/SUL long distance hiker it is something I could use, but is 10 ounces heavier than the ZPacks Arc Blast (3,200 Cubic Inches / 52 Liters – so significantly larger volume) and it is three times heavier than my primary custom made front panel loader backpack which is 2,200 cu in (36L) and 240 grams (8.47 oz). But as we all know, there are times when a heavier backpack is a very good thing. The Gorilla can take a serious load and keep you going without causing pain from having to heavy of a load in a backpack that does not have enough support. It has remained in my gear room specifically because of its ability to provide me the ability to handle a heavier load.
The backpack comes with pretty much every feature that we are use to seeing on high end full size backpacks – including a center loop which can double as an iceaxe strap, 6 exterior pockets, a crazy tough 140 denier Dyneema, padded hipbelts, curved shoulder straps, sternum strap, so on and so forth. Everything a weekender/long distance hiker needs in a backpack of this size.
Two very sweet features of the 2012 version is that the internal stay support is now removable. This means that if you do not need to be out there with a 30+ pound TPW setup, you can pull out the stays and save yourself 96 grams (3.4 oz.), and the hipbelt is also removable, allowing you to remove another 148 grams (5.2 oz) from the overall weight, bringing it down to around 470 grams (16.57 oz).
The hip-pockets are very streamlined – which is nice for hiking in brushes and bushes and not getting caught on everything – and have a very good forward angle cut on them making it easy to get your bottle of water out of them. The shoulder straps have a three loop daisy chain with a sternum strap, which even has an integrated whistle buckle. The sternum strap is removable as well.
To me the 2012 Gorrilla Backpack is one of the most exciting backpacks that are in the 3000 c.i. range that is on the market right now. This backpack is perfect for those looking for a backpack smaller than what ULA offers and not willing to go down the path of a Cuben Fiber backpack like what ZPacks offers.
A lot more hikers are discovering the joy that comes with smaller backpacks and the 3000 cubic inch capacity is just about the perfect size for those in the Ultralight world of hiking.
The backpack has proven to be amazingly tough, even through the wicked blackberry bushes and 6′ tall ferns we have here in my area. Low hanging trees branches and other low shrubbery have no effect on the material.
The unique approach to the top of the backpack took me some getting use to. Once you do, if you have too get use to it, you will discover it is a rock solid approach to closing a backpack.
I would have liked to have some side compression straps on a backpack in the 3000 cubic range, especially for those time when using it without the stay and hipbelt and a much lighter load, in order to reduce the overall bulk size of the backpack while hiking.
The shoulder straps are a traditional J-style cut, with the curve fairly far down. Really looking forward to a future S-Style shoulder straps from Gossamer Gear, if they ever decide to offer this option. I would prefer both a S-Style shoulder strap and have the shoulder straps curved out rather than be straight down, but these are just my personal preferences for backpacks.
All in all a very impressive backpack for those looking for a 3000 cubic inch backpack and/or for those with a Total Pack Weight of 25-35 pounds.

Rep. Matt Dean blames 'anti-GOP' 'thugs' for Capitol clash with armed neo-Nazis
A pro-Donald Trump rally at the Minnesota Capitol Saturday morning soon morphed into something else.
Two somethings: The event planned for the Capitol steps moved inside the building, where Trump fans listened to some speeches.
Outside, a group of left-wing protesters clashed with some heavily armed neo-Nazis, whose identifying symbols included American flags and "MAGA" stickers, for Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan.
Minnesota State Patrol officers mostly kept the two sides separated -- a couple skirmishes resulted in no reported arrests -- and the combined effect of bullhorns and chants made for more noise than anything else.
The alt-right side was heavily outnumbered, on the order of six-to-one, according to estimates, with some 200 anti-fascists facing down 30 or so neo-Nazis.
The Trump supporters inside seemed fully aware of what was happening outside. The Star Tribune reports one of them came out to approach the neo-Nazis, telling them to get lost. "We have nothing to do with you," the Trump supporter said.
The neo-Nazi disagreed, explaining that they "support Trump," too, and had a right to be there.
In case anyone inside was still oblivious, Unicorn Riot recorded video of event organizer Jonathon Aanestad explaining the scene.
On one side were the "neo-Nazis," whom Aanestad says are "all very armed -- really well-armed." And opposed to them, Aanestad told his small crowd, were the "anti-Nazis, which, a lot of them were anti-fa[scist], which are technically, against us."
#Trump rally speaker in capitol calls the #AltRight well armed #NeoNazis & #Antifa #AntiNazis as he describes outside to people.#Minnesota pic.twitter.com/5ixDcUu8wc— Unicorn Riot (@UR_Ninja) May 6, 2017
Later, Aanestad would tell WCCO he's worried about Trump rallies becoming "co-opted" by the neo-Nazis who tried crashing the party Saturday.
Rep. Matt Dean, R-Dillworth, a powerful Republican committee chairman who announced a couple weeks ago he's running for governor, saw the scene differently.
Dean was one of the Trump event's speakers, and on Sunday he issued a strong statement about the protest dust-up outside.
His Facebook statement makes no mention of the armed fascists, and instead singles out the left-wingers with "black masks," who produced "profanity-laced" chants, and intimidated and "verbally and physically assaulted" Trump supporters, who were "simply trying to assemble in the Capitol."
This charitble description apparently includes people like the guy who wore a bike helmet, a bandana, and used a bullhorn to lead a "Build the wall! Deport them all!" chant in the video below.
Dean went on to say the state Capitol, a "symbol of freedom," is soiled by these kinds of incidents. He blames one side, and one side only.
"[The Capitol] has been vandalized and marred," Dean says, "by the punks and thugs who celebrate intimidation and violence as some acceptable form of political expression because their candidate lost the last presidential election."
And the Nazis? Are they also a problem?
Not in Dean's statement, which goes on to say, richly, it's time to "stop creating false equivocation and looking the other way."
Hear, hear! No more looking the other way. Let's get started right away: If "really well-armed neo-Nazis" clash with "anti-fascists," and Matt Dean puts out a statement that only criticizes the anti-fascists... whose side is he on?
Read Dean's full statement below.
Yesterday at the Capitol, a group obtained a permit for a rally in support of the president.
About 45 minutes before it was to begin, protestors began to assemble on the steps. Out my office window, I saw four heading that way. They were tying black masks around their faces. As I walked that way, I could hear profanity-laced chants coming from the mob.
They formed a chain to prevent people from getting into their Capitol and intimidate anyone from entering the rally inside. I entered through another door with my key card. If I didn't have that, I could not have gotten in.
Only the few who were very early were able to hear what I and other speakers had to say. I understand that not only were families blocked from entering, but some were verbally and physically assaulted.
The anti-GOP protestors were allowed to shut down the Capitol and attack those Minnesotans who (under permit) were simply trying to assemble in the Capitol.
Our Capitol is a symbol of our freedom. It has been vandalized and marred by the punks and thugs who celebrate intimidation and violence as some acceptable form of political expression because their candidate lost the last presidential election.
This is the second time this year Minnesotans were physically attacked at our Capitol because of their beliefs.
It's time to stop creating false equivocation and looking the other way. If our Capitol can't be open and safe for those with a legitimate right and legal permit to assemble, then we have lost the meaning of the building itself.
I'm proud to have had the opportunity to represent our state in this beautiful place. It was built 112 years ago as a memorial to those Minnesotans who died trying to save our country from civil war. They deserve better.
Violence and intimidation can not be tolerated in our schools, on our freeways or in our Capitol. It is not part of the process. It is not free speech. It is not Minnesota.

Hell hath no fury like a breastfeeding mother scorned, as Manchester Aquatics Centre discovered.
Stephanie Wilby, 22, broke the unwritten swimming pool law by feeding her son, Leo, while bobbing about in the shallows. The British Gas employee was asked to leave by management and told breastfeeding in the baths was "unhygienic" and akin to "urinating" in the water.
We all know the pool rules - no running, no heavy petting, and no food or drink. Technically breast milk is both food and drink.
Leisure centre legislation must not discriminate. Clearly breastfeeding in the pool isn't "unhygienic", nor does it pass as "indecent exposure". But as a fellow mum, I believe it is rude and inappropriate for anyone to breastfeed in the water.
It's true that us mums can suffer from 'baby brain'. This is a serious affliction contracted during maternity leave - you can forget the day of the month, your PIN number (very embarrasing at the checkout in Tesco) and, more often than not, your manners.
Us mums can become so obsessed with nurturing the little ones that we forget how to treat the big ones. Too often I see new mums talking to each other side by side and pushing their buggies three abreast, taking up the whole pavement. They're so immersed in their chat they don't see the pile up of pedestrians behind them. Single file where necessary please ladies.
If you're foolhardy enough to go wandering into Yummy Mummy-ville on a working day of the week, expect to find the coffee shops littered with buggies, while the aroma of freshly ground coffee is ever so slightly ruined by the stench of dirty nappies. Mmm. It's getting trickier to find family-unfriendly venues.
In an attempt to blend the good old days with family life, parents will often frequent swanky eateries with youngsters in tow. At the risk of sounding a little bit Victorian, surely there are some safe havens where children should be neither seen or heard?
Bow-tie wearing toddlers dashing around a white table-clothed restaurant, where there is no sign of a happy meal or chicken nugget, is a parenting faux pas - along with an irksome tot kicking the back of your aeroplane seat from London to New York while the parents turn a blind eye.
The Manchester Aquatics Centre encourages women to breastfeed in the poolside cafe or the changing rooms - in a "safe and comfortable environment" - but understandably not in the water. Fair enough. The dedicated lap swimmer hardly wants an accidental mouthful of breast milk with their chlorine.
In return for the generosity of spirit shown by the suited man who helps haul a buggy onto the train, or the receptionist who coos over a patient's kids, breastfeeding mums must be mindful of other adults.
Breastfeeding in a public swimming pool will only dilute the fight to make sure that breastfeeding in public - when practised in a sensitive way - is supported by society.
In this case discretion really is the better part of valour.
When you know you're failing the parenting code of conduct, by Anna White
1. Allowing your kids to run amok in restaurants
2. Failing to take your wailing baby out of church mid wedding vows
3. Feeding your toddler sugar and e-numbers on a 24-hour-flight
4. Forgetting to clean up after dirty nappies in coffee shop toilets - there's a £1,000 fine remiss dog owners. Scoop that poop
5. Talking to your child shrilly, loudly and in the third person on a packed commuter train - "would Sammy-whammy like to climb over the grumpy-wumpy man's legs to look out the window?"

Jetstar has apologised after a crew member advised Splendour in the Grass festival goers to dump their drugs before landing in Sydney.
People who attended the music festival near Byron Bay were on a flight out of the Gold Coast on Sunday night when the crew member issued a public announcement.
The flight attendant said sniffer dogs and quarantine officers were waiting at the domestic terminal and advised them to flush "anything you shouldn't have" down the toilet.
The announcement reportedly sparked a rush to the bathrooms.
Jetstar says the staff member will be reprimanded.
The airline says the staffer was complying with a requirement that airlines make quarantine announcements, but the crew member's words were "poorly chosen and plainly at odds with the professional standards we'd expect from our team".
But some took a more positive view.
"Thank you for caring for your Splendour passengers," one person posted on Jetstar Australia's Facebook page. "Very thoughtful and kind thing to do.
"Hope the staff member will be promoted."

Many consumers within the specified market don't generally take out insurance for their handsets or devices, insurance is always seen as a grudge purchase and in most cases avoided. The brief to agency was to highlight the negative effects one could suffer should they not be adequately covered. The client wanted something that would resonate with the target market but also stand out from the clutter – insurance ads tend to be quite dry, so we needed to develop a concept that be disruptive and thought provoking.

Our Story
Hey there, we're ANTIZ skateboard! We traveled from Alaska to California because we were bored of ice skating. We wanted to try "land" skating, or as you may call it skateboarding. We actually moved to California for good. The weather is super nice here. And we love it!
Besides writing blog posts, we have a little shop in our local area. Players come to have their skateboards fixed or seek our advice on which skateboard to choose for their budget and body types. We thought we could just as well put the info online so more people can access it and share it with their friends. And so we did! This ANTIZ skateboard blog carries our hope that folks everywhere will be able to find useful info about this amazing sport!
Our Reviewers
Leona Sence, CEO
Welcome, bro! I'm Leona Sence. Originally, I was born in Alaska. I've seen polar bears my entire time there. Traveling to California on summer had a great impact on me. It was a total different world. I mean, there are still bears, but they're now grizzly brown bears, right. Just like the Calif. flag. I love the weather here. And the thing that made me stay was this sport, skateboarding. You can still do skateboarding in Alaska, but for me it's just not as fun. I find it ironic that folks like me wanted to try out the sport so bad back home; yet when I got to Calif. I saw signs like "No skateboarding please" on sidewalks. Whut?!
I've touched more than hundreds of skateboards over the years. And I can tell you for sure, I know which ones are just crap and which ones are definitely worth it. Here, I share all that I know with you. So, check out the reviews and send me a message if you're stuck. I'll be glad to help you out!
James J. Blanford, Manager
Hi folks, I'm the manager of ANTIZ skate. In the skate shop, I help players fix problems with the boards. Some of the most common ones I've seen are the wheels are not rolling very smoothly, the deck is slippery, or the board doesn't seem to provide good balance. Trust me, I have answers to all of these questions and more. My experience tells me that, for you first timers, choosing a "good enough" skateboard is, well good enough. Once you get going and your skills improve, you'd care more about investing for your board. That's the way to go!

India must be fully prepared to defend its borders in the Northeastern region while striving for improved bilateral ties with China in trade and other fields, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu said on Tuesday.
"Border issues are dealt with by the Central government. As chief minister of Arunachal Pradesh, I would like the Central government to be in all preparedness on the borders, while striving for improving bilateral trade and relations to the benefit of both," Khandu told PTI in an interview in Itanagar.
"We should always rely on our strength and take all steps to defend our borders without depending on anybody, no matter how good the relations in other fronts are," he said in reply to a question.
"I can only say that another war between the two Asian giants will affect the economies of both. Instead, both should cooperate to sustain their fast growing economies," he added.
Khandu was asked if he felt that India and China leading a joint block with Brazil and South Africa against the developed countries at the recent Copenhagen meet on climate change has brought both the two a step closer to an early solution to the border dispute, especially in Arunachal Pradesh.
China claims Arunachal as its territory which India has rejected. Khandu said land for eight Advanced Landing Grounds lying unused for long has been handed over to the Union defence ministry for free under a Memorandum of Understanding signed last year with the stipulation that they will be used both by military and civil aircraft.
The state government has also sent a proposal for construction of another ALG in the Buddhist town of Tawang, which attracts 9000 tourists every year, besides being an important border town from the strategic point of view.
The process for allotment of land for accommodation of the proposed deployment of two more divisions of army were also on.
Khandu, who returned to power with two-thirds majority in the October assembly elections, said he intends to retire from politics after his present term expires.
He plans to complete some major projects that will help the backward state become prosperous by exploiting its huge natural resources.
On the cards are the ambitious 1800 km Trans-Arunachal highway and other highways interlinking district headquarters and a four-lane link between the state capital with the rest of the country.

"Daniel came recommended to me by a close friend and colleague. She sang praises about him and now I will too. He is everything you would want your realtor to be. He is professional, intelligent, available, knowledgeable, hardworking, patient, timely, and a great negotiator. I bought my first home with him. I am so happy with the purchase and beyond grateful to him for all of his hard work through the whole process. I know that I got a great deal on the home and it is because of his negotiations. Believe everything you read on here about him, Daniel is the real deal! Not only is he a superb professional, but also a genuinely great person."
-Adriana (Trumbull, CT)
"Working with Daniel was an absolute pleasure! He constantly went out of his way to make sure we were getting exactly what we wanted in the purchase of our new home. He is extremely patient, honest, caring and knowledgable. Daniel always made us feel like his number one priority. It's obvious Daniel is not in it just to make a sale. He really enjoys making people happy. I look forward to working with him in the future."
-Barbara (Bridgeport, CT)

"Daniel helped my wife and I closed on our first home. He was patient and made the house hunt a fun experience. He did not force a house on us to make a quick sale, he instead helped us refocus our search as the market shifted and we were able to purchase our first home at the right time. He is resourceful and a great negotiator, we purchased our house for less than we anticipate. We will definitely work with him again"
-Mr. & Mrs. Eliacin (Stratford, CT)

We offer a broadly based postgraduate taught LLM programme leading to the award of the degree of Master of Laws (LLM). Students can choose to pursue an LLM that specializes in one of the several programmes listed above or if they prefer, can pursue non-specialised legal study choosing from any of the available modules.
Programme structure
The LLM programme comprises two stages. In Stage 1 students normally pursue four modules from the list approved for each route. Some of these are compulsory.
All students enrolled for the LLM will also undertake training in Postgraduate Research Skills and Support. Completion of the LLM programme meets the Continuing Professional Development yearly requirement of the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bar Standards Board.
Teaching and Learning
For all programmes, students are encouraged to work independently to seek out legal materials for themselves, to read and analyze these materials critically and to present structured and reasoned argument under the guidance of their tutors and supervisors.
Although there are some lectures in several of the programmes, teaching is mainly carried out through seminars. Students will be required to read materials relevant to each module in advance of the teaching sessions, and to present the results of their reading.
The majority of modules are assessed through an essay or another approved method. In addition, students will complete formative (non-assessed) work on which they will be given feedback.
Postgraduate Awards
Students who successfully complete Stages 1 and 2 of the LLM programme will be eligible for the award of the degree of Master of Laws with, for those who have followed one of the specialized programmes, the name of that programme included in the title of the award. For both Stages of the programme, the pass mark is 50%. Students who obtain an average mark of 70% or above will be eligible for the award of the degree with Distinction.
Students who successfully complete Stage 1 (120 credits of study) but who do not proceed to or complete Stage 2 of the programme, may be eligible for the award of Postgraduate Diploma as appropriate to their chosen programme.
Students who successfully complete 60 credits of study but who do not otherwise complete Stage 1 of the programme, may be eligible for the award of Postgraduate Certificate as appropriate to their chosen programme.
