The 6th edition of Student Companion: Public Law contains concise summaries of the leading decisions that are covered in the study of public law. This is an invaluable, easy-to-read reference tool for students, designed to be used in conjunction with lecture notes and existing text materials.
For this edition the author Simon Dorset has condensed and reordered some case summaries, removed cases that are no longer essential and added new cases particularly with regard to Administrative Law; Bill of Rights; Treaty of Waitangi and Royal Prerogative areas, ensuring the Student Companion: Public Law continued relevance and usefulness to students of public law.
Simon Dorset is the Senior Tutor and Assistant Dean (Students) at the University of Canterbury School of Law. He was admitted in 1991 and has been extensively engaged in many spheres of legal education for over 25 years. He has worked in New Zealand, Australia and Papua New Guinea and is currently a part-time consultant at Tavendale and Partners, Christchurch.
Personalized learning is a pressing challenge in modern education due to the diverse learning needs of students and the limited resources available to educators. Traditional methods of seeking academic support, such as one-on-one consultations or peer study groups, often fall short in providing tailored guidance and bridging knowledge gaps. Compounding these challenges is the inherent diversity of learners, each with distinct strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles, rendering a one-size-fits-all approach increasingly obsolete.
In this rapidly evolving landscape, the advent of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) present a transformative opportunity to address these long-standing educational challenges. LLMs, trained on massive datasets, can understand natural language, interpret meaning, and generate contextually relevant and human-like responses. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) further enhances LLM output by referencing authoritative knowledge bases outside of their training data before generating a response.
A personalized learning companion must adapt to the unique profile and skillset of each student. Consider the following scenario: Emma, a science enthusiast, and Michael, who struggles with certain concepts, are enrolled in the same course. While Emma would benefit from advanced insights and challenging questions to further her understanding, Michael requires simplified explanations and additional examples to reinforce the material. A personalized learning companion would tailor its approach accordingly, ensuring both students receive customized support aligned with their respective strengths and areas for improvement.
Based on the output from the previous step, the application invokes the LLM to generate a student profile. The following code snippet illustrates this step using the new Claude 3 Sonnet model that is now available on Amazon Bedrock.

"Engaging students in a familiar voice and pulling them into deeper conversation through embedded digital content, The Student Companion walks students through decades of wisdom and insight about community engagement. For students, the book can be a macro-reflection - encouraging careful critical examination of engagement while honoring the challenging emotional terrain and power dynamics embedded, yet often ignored, in community engagement. Most importantly the volume honors the beauty, complexity, and strength of communities as rich resources for the world, and for students. The Companion is a key resource for students and higher education."
"If Thich Nhat Hanh, Parker Palmer, adrienne maree brown, and Nadinne Cruz had a dinner party about community engagement and higher education, this book might be a map of that imagined conversation. This book provides an important container for students, faculty, and community partners to grapple with the complexities and promise of community-engaged learning: intellectual rigor, ethical relationships, different kinds of knowledges, and the unfolding process of learning with and across differences.

The Policy is only used in extreme circumstances and as a last option when all other support and attempts to mitigate or resolve the concerning behaviour have been exhausted. The threshold to place a student on a Supportive Leave is extremely high and the decision to proceed under the Policy can only be made by the Vice-Provost, Students.
This is the first published version of the Supportive Leaves Policy Student Companion Guide, and we anticipate that it will be an iterative document, responding to community feedback and future reviews of the Policy.
The Guide is organized in six sections outlining various supports, resources, and processes and stages under the Policy and information is presented in a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) format. If you are a student who is on a Supportive Leave under the Policy, a list of the most commonly asked questions is available in Section 1. More detailed information is available in the additional sections of the guide.
