The idea of a guide to courses offered by Australian university law schools arose from the work of Australia’s International Legal Services Advisory Council in seeking to identify and better understand the overseas opportunities and challenges facing Australian law schools in the 1990s.
A comprehensive directory of undergraduate and postgraduate law courses at Australian universities, which could be made available to students and academics overseas, emerges as a logical step in encouraging greater interaction in the study of law between Australia and the rest of the world.
Australian higher education has benefited significantly from the contribution of students, academic staff and researchers from the Asia Pacific region and beyond.
Australia has never been more conscious of a sense of shared destiny with the cultures and economies of the region of which we are part. In encouraging closer links in the study of law this handbook, together with the LAWASIA directory of law courses in the Asia and West Pacific regions published by the Centre for Legal Education, makes a contribution to that process.
It is my hope that the first edition of Studying Law in Australia by the Council of Australian Law Deans will be updated annually, expanded, and improved in the light of comments and suggestions by its users.
