MISSION STATEMENT

"VE HAUSZ SERZT OE WJEIK KSAEJ VJEIK VE ZVAERS | THE MIND MUST BE AS SHARP AS THE SWORD."

 

The Royal Academy of St. Charles strives to teach in ways that are both practical and engaging.

 

All of the Academy's lessons, from introductory classes, to internships, to graduating exams, are guided by a need to make classes interesting, and keeping students driven and engaged. Thus, the Academy does not teach through monotonous lectures; instead, law is taught through mock trials and apprentices to the High Justiciar; medicine is thought through real-time medical scenarios and surgeries, and traineeship under the Hospital of Saint Amyas and HRA Field Medics; and history is taught through expeditions and internships to esteemed bodies such as the Northern Geographic Society.

 

The Academy is also committed to a wider understand of the world and active research, espousing the core belief that knowledge begets progress. As a result, students may often avail of opportunities to travel across Almaris visiting other cities and nations in search of knowledge, or investigating ancient ruins and other anomalies in pursuit of a greater understanding of the world.

 

A degree from the Academy signifies a mark of excellence in the relevant field, and equips students with adept knowledge in their chosen area, be it law, medicine, history, or something else; all of which are vastly useful skills. Students may complete a degree for their own interests, or may become a lawyer, doctor, historian or a Dragus themselves as a result.

Main Classes:

Law

"VELSKIR JOEDENSVASR | READER OF LAW."

 

Law classes at the Royal Academy of St. Charles aim to teach students how to investigate crime and argue before the Aulic Court.

 

The Academy's law programme is taught mainly through the Crown Association of Jurists (Naumariav: Ve Krawn Asrandz i Jurovarez), which is helmed by the High Justiciar of the Aulic Council with the primary objectove of training students in the key aspects of law in Haense - criminal investigation, legal reform, and legal argument.

 

Law Degree Structure

• Term One - Classes: In starting their student, law students are required to attend classes on the basics of law in Haense. These classes consist of lessons in criminal investigations and evidence gathering, knowing and interpreting the law, and how to argue before the Aulic Court. To progress, students must participate in five classes and have the approval of a Dragus of Law that they are confident in the student's ability to proceed.
• Term Two - Mentorship: After classes, students are assigned a Jurist from the Crown Assocation of Jurists who will mentor them. While the Jurist will take their student to any meetings, investigations or trials, the main focus of this second term is a mock trial between two students, both of whom will be couched by their mentoring Jurist. The case for the trial will be assigned by the High Justiciar, who will also preside over the trial as judge. Students are not required to win the mock trial to progress with their studies, but must demonstrate adept capability and what they have learned thus far. 
• Term Three - Final Exam: To graduate as a trained jurist, students are required to participate in a grand trial presided over by the actual judges (Naumariav: Jovenaar) of the Aulic Court. This final examination shall consist of all the preparation and formalities of a real trial, and the student will need to apply their knowledge of investigation, interpretation and advocacy in order to pass, though again they need not necessarily win the case. The opposing lawyer for this grand trial will be a Jurist of Dragus of Law.

To progress, students will be required to complete at least one lesson on combat injuries and active training on at least two combat or training scenarios.
