“This article discusses the Discovery Enriched Curriculum and its theoretical basis within the educational literature on discovery-based learning and the undergraduate research movement, before moving on to suggest the ways and means by which the undergraduate law curriculum at City University of Hong Kong could be changed in order to implement DEC, and equally as importantly the ways in which established law teaching practices already fit within the DEC framework. To fully implement DEC within City University of Hong Kong’s Bachelor of Laws curriculum, some changes to long-standing teaching practices and the list of core courses will be necessary, but perhaps fewer changes than a sceptic might first believe. Overall, DEC has the potential to become a model for other law schools to follow in adopting inductive learning methods, if these are implemented in accordance with the results of existing pedagogical research.”
