Course Module: Civil cases and criminal disputes
Course Topic: Advantages and disadvantages of methods of dispute resolution
Comment: This party on alternative dispute resolution mechanisms (ADR) is quite interesting. However, it would be better to incorporate also other ADR like Case Evaluation, Early neutral evaluation, ombudsperson, etc. since ADR is most encouraged in most jurisdictions due the the court big case backlog

Course Module: Characteristics of effective laws
Course Topic: The Principle of Access
Comment: If not base on the fact that "Man" has different views of Issues, Life, Crimes etc Punishment would have been reduced. However, if punishment is reduced then inter-social relationship will also be fully limited.
Then Life may not be meaningful. Hence, the need to study Law is paramount.
