Lawbore rocks! Giving students what they want. Allbon
- 1. “Lawbore rocks!” Giving students what they want – Emily Allbon LILAC ‘09
- 2. “Having just had a manic term on the CPE just wanted to say thank you for all the work you put into Lawbore - it's phenomenal!” “Lawbore is AWESOME, it really is. Helping lots with the revising.” “I found your tutorial on mooting invaluable and referred it to anyone that has questions about mooting. It is really really well done” “Learnmore is so useful and helpful! Such a support when everything is so new…” “I love the fact the site is completely different to anything else out there: vibrant, stylish, attractive and interesting. Lawbore is totally focused on students.” “Learnmore = a tutor on duty 24 hrs” Great graphics and has a real interactivity feel, the talking guides for law reports and citations are brilliant. Just the right tone of practical information with encouraging personality of your voice. I love the Moots guide - very funny. I have just come across your Lawbore portal and wanted to say how impressive it looks. Very inviting, easy to navigate and informative.
