Using actors as witnesses, to create an authentic law court environment for assessment is long established at City, Catherine Hill of the City Law School  joined us at the Online Role Play event in November 2014, to share their experience of using role play, in a very specific way over many years.

Points of interest

All of Catherine’s talk is fascinating, but if you are short of time – or just want to find out what all those actors are up to, I have picked out a few points of interest for you to hop straight to.
