ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses how to manage the supervisor relationship, and how to make the most of it. The role of the supervisor is to support the research project, yet the supervision relationship can cause much anxiety and stress. Working with a supervisor, obtaining feedback, and being able to talk about law student research project are integral parts of any research project. Law student should also always take notes during meetings with their supervisor. To get the most out of the meetings, always provide something to discuss. Normally, the supervisor and supervisee will meet quite intensively closer to submission. After the initial planning meeting, law student contact may be infrequent until they move from the research to the writing state. Remember that law student do not need to incorporate all/any of the suggestions from their supervisor/critical friend – the main aim is to help law student think about their work from different perspectives and critically.
