How can flexible delivery, with its emphasis on more active and collaborative learning through use of new technologies, enhance the facilitation of a critical understanding of law? This paper discusses the benefits of delivering a law course in flexible mode, focussing upon those design features, technologies and learning activities which have the potential to facilitate criticality in law students. It shows how flexible delivery can be an important step towards addressing problems associated with traditional legal education (the emphasis upon training law students to be lawyers; the prevalence of doctrinal approaches to legal education; and the ignorance by many legal educators of contemporary pedagogical theory), and describes how flexible delivery offers an opportunity to encourage consideration of the law from critical perspectives, to develop critical thinking skills and to foster a critical spirit in students.
