Legal Governance and Professional Leadership - LAW599

This unit is subject to a quota. Limited places are available. Please refer to the Faculty for further information

Students will interact with legal practitioners and social justice policy-makers from the legal profession, government, industry and advocacy groups to generate law reform proposals. Practitioners will relate their experiences of diverse challenges in legal practice and policy development and lead students in addressing issues in governance, access to justice, social opportunity, and deliberative democracy. Through professional-oriented teams, students will reflect on how consultative, collaborative and deliberative capacities of legal professionals can mediate community leadership and change. Students will develop socio-legal innovations and advocacy with direct Australian and global application, and present their proposals for consideration by real stakeholders.
