Summary:In this short article, we examine how the University of Adelaide's Law School responded in its approach to teaching during the challenges of COVID-19, the opportunities revealed, and the immediate and longer-term implications of such responses. First and foremost, the COVID-19 pandemic caused heightened stress in our student cohort and for staff. [...]we did not increase seminar sizes even though that would have been easy on Zoom. [...]except in extreme cases, we asked staff to give live lectures rather than reuse lecture material from past years. [...]COVID-19 has placed considerable financial pressure on the University of Adelaide.
