Purpose

This study is carried out to evaluate how well legal knowledge can be demonstrated by a built environment professional via the scenario-based approach to the learning of law modules.

Design/methodology/approach

A Delphi analysis of the advice provided by an MSC quantity surveying student, on a scenario-based legal problem arising due to a property contract, is carried out. The tendered legal advice was submitted as part of the assessment requirements for an MSc law module, following the university criteria, after the teaching of a law module. The student report, which attained an A-grade, and the assessment criteria used for marking/grading by the university were subsequently sent to 18 practicing lawyers, who were selected to constitute an expert panel, to independently judge the extent of legal knowledge demonstrated in the student report.

Findings

The Delphi analysis outcome showed that the expert panel holds a similar consensus view to the university on the level of legal knowledge demonstrated and by extension the effectiveness of the law module in imparting legal knowledge to a non-lawyer. The study outcome shows how well legal knowledge can be acquired and applied by a non-lawyer, within the context of the built environment, via scenario-based teaching of a law module.

Originality/value

This study serves as a preliminary step necessary to arouse further research toward empirically profiling the current outlook of a wider range of graduating students receiving scenario-based legal education in the built environment.

迈向建筑环境中的高阶法律知识：对工料测量师基于情景的法律建议的德尔菲分析

目的

本研究的目的是评估建筑环境专业人员通过基于场景的法律模块学习方法可以在多大程度上展示法律知识。

设计/方法论/途径

对 MSC 工料测量学生针对因财产合同而产生的基于情景的法律问题提供的建议进行了德尔菲分析。所提交的法律建议是在法律模块教学后按照大学标准作为理学硕士法律模块评估要求的一部分提交的。获得A级的学生报告以及大学用于打分/评分的评估标准随后发送给18名执业律师，并选出他们组成专家小组，独立判断学生所表现出的法律知识程度。学生报告。

发现

德尔菲分析结果表明，专家小组在所展示的法律知识水平以及扩展法律模块向非律师传授法律知识的有效性方面与大学持有类似的共识。研究结果表明，非律师可以在建筑环境中通过基于场景的法律模块教学来获取和应用法律知识。

原创性/价值

这项研究是激发进一步研究的必要步骤，以实证分析更广泛的毕业生在建筑环境中接受基于情景的法律教育的当前前景。
