Legal Research

This subject is a core element of the JD degree. It provides students in their final year with a capstone research experience, comprising several small-group research seminars at the beginning of semester and ongoing individualised research project supervision throughout the semester. The subject is offered in streams, with each stream devoted to a specialised area of legal inquiry. Students will have the opportunity to work closely with a member of the academic staff in pursuing a particular research interest, and to present their research orally before submitting the written essay for assessment.
