DAILY JOURNAL ASSIGNMENT

INSTRUCTIONS:

Every day in this course, please keep a journal of your own thoughts about administrative law
and tribunals issues as they relate to the daily topics that will be discussed. These can be
reflections on topics of discussion, observations, thoughts, ideas, questions, conversations
that you had during class, etc. All entries must be related to the topic of immigration as they
relate to your daily experiences in the class room.

A journal entry shall be kept for each and every day you are in the class room. Each entry
shall be between 50-100 words. The word count shall always be included at the end of your
journal entry. If you miss a class, you are not allowed to make up for that missed entry.

Your journal entries shall be typed in a WORD document, in Arial 11 font, single spaced,
double sided. There should be a total of 13 journal entries (exam days do not count for journal
entries). Create a separate cover page containing the title “Journal Entries.” Put your name on
the cover. When complete, hand in stapled in the top left hand corner.

Each day shall be reflected upon by using the below formatting:

The sample entry below is how your entry should look and has a word count of 52 words
meeting the minimum requirements for a journal entry:

Day One – January 23, 2017

Today we discussed the topic of advocacy in tribunals. I did not know that advocacy involved so
much interaction with clients. I was not aware of the skill sets required in order to cross-examine
a witness while on the stand. It is interesting to note that I think that good cross-examination
skills require an appreciation for the art form that it is.
