Internationalising the Australian Law Curriculum for Enhanced Global Legal Education and Practice

The primary purpose of this project is to develop and model the effective integration of international and intercultural dimensions into legal education practice that will equip Australian legal graduates with the necessary international and intercultural competencies to work in a global context. The aim is to develop an internationalised legal curriculum that meets student and employer priorities for the capacity to practice international commercial, private, public and governmental law in an international environment; match developing international professional requirements; and provide the basis for ongoing personal and professional development in a rapidly changing world. In addition to the practice of law, other career options which might benefit from an internationalised curriculum include policy development, project management, and leadership within a range of domestic and international organisations and NGOs.
