[00:01:00]2007 [00:02.38]The study of law has been recognized [00:04.30]for centuries as a basic intellectual discipline in European universities. [00:09.17]However, only in recent years has it become a feature of undergraduate programs [00:14.12]in Canadian universities. [00:16.90](46) Traditionally legal learning has been viewed in such institutions [00:20.34]the special preserve of lawyers, [00:24.09]rather than a necessary part of the intellectual equipment of an educated person. [00:29.32]Happily, the older and more continental view of legal education [00:33.90]is establishing itself in a number of Canadian universities some [00:38.36]have even begun to offer undergraduate degrees in law. ? [00:42.00]If the study of law is beginning to establish as part and parcel of a general education, [00:48.46]its aims and methods should appeal directly to journalism educators. [00:53.97]Law is a discipline encourages responsible judgment. [00:57.99]On the one hand, [00:59.54]it provides opportunities to analyze such ideas as justice, democracy and freedom. [01:05.09](47) On the other, [01:06.26] it links these concepts to everyday realities in a manner [01:09.97]which is parallel to the links journalists forge on a daily basis [01:14.18]as they cover and comment on the news. [01:17.02]For example, notions of evidence and fact, [01:20.52]of basic rights and public interest are at work [01:24.28]in the process of journalistic judgment [01:27.17]and production just as in courts of law. [01:30.13]Sharpening judgment by absorbing [01:32.59]and reflection on law is a desirable component [01:36.19]of a journalist’s intellectual preparation for his or her career.? [01:40.43](48)But the idea that the journalist must understand the law more profoundly [01:44.46]than an ordinary citizen rests on an understanding of the established conventions [01:51.08]and special responsibilities of the news media. [01:54.31]Politics or, more broadly, the functioning of the state, [01:58.27]is a major subject for journalists. [02:01.12]The better informed they are about the way the state works, [02:04.14]the better their reporting will be. [02:07.17](49)In fact, it is difficult to see how journalists who do not have a clear grasp [02:12.49]of the basic features of the Canadian Constitution can do a competent job [02:18.69]on political stories.? [02:19.97]Furthermore, the legal system and the events which occur within it are [02:24.69]primary subjects for journalists. [02:27.21]While the quality of legal journalism varies greatly, [02:30.36]there is an undue reliance amongst many journalists [02:34.20]on interpretations supplied to them by lawyers. [02:37.86](50)While comment and reaction from lawyers may enhance stories, [02:41.84]it is preferable for journalists to rely [02:45.35]on their own notions of significance and make their own judgments. [02:49.46]These can only come from a well-grounded understanding of the legal system.?
