Borge, Shuttle Program, Web site

As far as duties on the JV are concerned, mine must be the most exciting, since I am responsible for the Shuttle Programme, Sponsors and the Website.

The Shuttle Programme is designed to allow all students the opportunity to see and experience many things they otherwise would not have been able to. Field trips are organised relating to our field of study thereby exposing us to the living law as it operates every day. The first field trip this year was to the Cape Town High Courts. The trip was a roaring success and excellent feedback was received from the students. We were shown things we would otherwise not have seen - such as pieces of evidence from cases which we actually study in class!

Other important and, no doubt, very interesting places on the itinerary are Parliament and Robben Island. By visiting Parliament we not only get to see where laws are made but also get to meet the lawmakers. And, well, Robben Island - that speaks for itself.

Finding sponsors makes it possible for the JV to host an array of events throughout the year. Sponsorships expose us to the outside world thereby making people aware of the JV and allows for the building of strong relationships for future reference.

The website was designed and set up in conjunction with staff from the Law Faculty. All I had to do was submit our request to make it funky and interactive, the rest I left up to the experts!!
