Question 1 (Marks: 25)

Read the facts below and answer the questions that follow.

You are the Environmental Consultant for RiverCity, an ambitious urban development project
that aims to build a model eco-city on the outskirts of an existing metropolis. This new city is
designed to accommodate a population surge while preserving the environment and
maintaining a harmonious co-existence with nature. The developers of RiverCity are committed
to Earth Law principles and wish to create a city that respects the intrinsic value of nature and
the interconnectedness of all life forms. To reflect this commitment, they want to make sure the
urban development project is guided by the principles of Earth Law. The development site for
RiverCity includes several diverse ecosystems, including a river, a wetland area, and a small
forest. The developers are keen to respect and protect these ecosystems, not just as resources,
but as vital members of the Earth community with their own inalienable rights.

Scenario 1 - River Protection: The river is a vital ecosystem that hosts a range of aquatic species.
However, it will also play a crucial role in the city for transport, water supply, and recreation.
How do you ensure the development respects the rights of the river according to Earth Law
principles?

 23; 24 2024

Scenario 2 - Wetland Preservation: The wetland area is a sensitive ecosystem known for its rich
biodiversity. The developers want to preserve this ecosystem while also allowing residents to
enjoy its beauty. What strategies would you recommend under Earth Law principles?

Scenario 3 - Forest Co-habitation: The forest is a mature ecosystem, home to a variety of

wildlife. The developers wish to integrate the forest into the urban landscape without harming
its natural state or disrupting its inhabitants. What steps would you propose to accomplish this
while adhering to Earth Law?

Scenario 4 - Governance Systems: RiverCity aims to establish a local governance system that
aligns with Earth Law principles. What would this system look like? How would it support the
well-being of all life forms and ensure crimes against nature are prevented and addressed?

Apply the principles of earth jurisprudence to each of the scenarios above. You must also refer
to the following in your answer.

a. An understanding of Earth Jurisprudence and its principles

b. An application of Earth Jurisprudence principles to each of the above scenarios

c. Innovative and practical solutions to the scenarios above that align with these
principles
d. Analyse the potential challenges in implementing these principles and how to
address them.
e. Provide a comparative analysis of earth jurisprudence with traditional
environmental law.
Your answer must not exceed five [5] typed pages for this question and must be formatted as
per the IIE guidelines for the submission of assignments. Your lecturer will stop marking after
page 5.

Read the facts below and advise Sarah.

You are an attorney working in a medium-sized law firm that primarily deals with corporate clients.

building, equitable distribution of resources, and healing human relationships.

Changing Relevance of Legal Systems:

 Reflect on how the Western legal system, developed during the Industrial Revolution and
the Information Age, may not be completely relevant in the Consciousness Age.

longer suitable and propose alternative approaches in line with the Consciousness Age.

Self-reflection and Awareness:

 As an attorney with a busy schedule, identify three ways in which you might be avoiding
confronting the values of your law firm and the broader legal system.

level of organisational consciousness, and the effects of these on your professional
satisfaction.

Your personal purpose as a prospective attorney, within the context of the scenario:
 Reflect on your personal purpose as a future attorney.
 Align your purpose with the colours of Spiral Dynamics.
 Discuss any conflicts or alignments between your personal values and the culture of the law
firm in the scenario.

Impact of Legal System:

 Analyse the impact of the legal system on your clients and society as a whole.
 Discuss how the shift from a rights-based to an interest-based system (from orange to
green) could change this impact.

Suffering and Self-Realisation:

 23; 24 2024

 If you are feeling any professional dissatisfaction or dissonance, use the SDi model to

orientation? If so, what steps can you take to align your professional life with your personal
values?

 Detailed analyses based on the given scenarios.
 Proposed solutions or actions, backed by the principles of Spiral Dynamics
 Insights on how these actions could contribute to evolving consciousness within the legal
profession.

 23; 24 2024

Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Assessment (TKI):

 Research and describe the five conflict resolution styles identified by TKI.
 For each style, provide an example of a legal situation where that style could be most
effectively used.

Personal Conflict Resolution Style:

 Using the TKI, identify your own default style of responding to conflict.
 Discuss how this style could influence your practice as a lawyer.

Role of Culture, Environment, and Personality:

 Analyse how your cultural background, environmental factors, and personal traits have
shaped your default conflict resolution style.
 Provide specific examples to support your analysis.

Appropriateness of Conflict Response:

 Discuss why there is no one "right" way to respond to a conflict.

QUESTION 4 (Marks: 25)

Read the scenario below and answer the questions that follow.

You are a part of the team at a law school in South Africa. The team is tasked with addressing the
criticism that the school's current curriculum is too focused on the Western adversarial model of
resolving legal disputes and not enough on Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods. The
team aims to integrate ADR methods, grounded in African epistemic norms and the philosophy of
Ubuntu, into the clinical legal education curriculum. You believe this integration will produce more
competent, practical, and empathetic law graduates who are better aligned with societal norms
and mores.
Discuss how decolonising the manner in which law students are taught for practice through the
incorporation of Afrocentric alternative dispute resolution in South Africa’s clinical legal education
is warranted in humanising legal education.

You must refer to the following in your answer:

a. Reflect on the criticism of the current South African legal education system and
discuss the issues it faces and the potential negative impact on law graduates and
society.
b. Explain the key principles and methodologies of ADR. Additionally, delve into
African epistemic norms and the philosophy of ubuntu and discuss their
relevance to dispute resolution.
c. Propose a plan to integrate ADR methods into the clinical legal education
curriculum at your law school. Detail the proposed changes, new courses, or
modules to be introduced, and how they will enhance practical skills and
empathy among students.
d. Discuss how your proposed changes align with the philosophy of Ubuntu and
African epistemic norms. Highlight how these changes can make legal education
more Afrocentric and in harmony with societal bone mores.
Your answer must not exceed five [5] typed pages for this question and must be formatted as per
the IIE guidelines for the submission of assignments. Your lecturer will stop marking after page 5.
