Abstract

This article examines claims of declining student attendance at law lectures and evaluates the contemporary relevance of the synchronous lecture. The authors discuss the benefits of lectures, analyse the reasons for low student attendance, and investigate student perceptions regarding the value of synchronous lectures versus asynchronous learning options such as lecture recordings. The study includes a review of the literature on the value of lecture attendance, an analysis of lecture attendance data, a survey of student preferences, and a summary of focus groups with students. Ultimately, the authors conclude that abolishing law lectures is not advisable as law students continue to find value in having access to both synchronous and asynchronous learning options.
