What will you do on this practicum?:
Students will research the law relating to donor-assisted human reproduction in Ireland and produce an information booklet setting out the legal impact of the law on parents and prospective parents, gamete donors and donor-conceived children.
Why will you do this work?:
The information booklet will allow you to convey your legal knowledge to non-legal stakeholders to help them to understand their legal rights and interests in accessible language. You will work collaboratively with a group of your peers to produce the information booklet. As such, you will engage in both independent research as well as collaborative learning. You will learn from one another to reach creative solutions to practical problems. Submission of reflective journals will allow you to reflect on your learning and to identify any difficulties encountered in conducting your research. Presentations will allow you to practice and refine your communication skills.
Who will you be working with?:
The National Infertility Support and Information Group (NISIG) will provide guidance and expert advice on the research undertaken. The booklet will be presented to NISIG upon completion.
How will your work be evaluated?:
Your work will be evaluated through the submission of reflective journals, presentations and research conducted on the final information booklet.
