| Summary: | Handbook produced during the course of a project that developed a framework for an internationalised law curriculum that aims to prepare law graduates for practise in a global context, significantly enhancing recognition of Australian law degrees. The handbook is a resource and guide for teachers and other decision-makers involved in offering law programs in Australian universities. In particular, it: provides a background, drawn principally from the literature, to the current phenomenon of internationalisation generally, and the internationalisation of the academic curriculum in particular; provides information about the internationalisation of legal practice in Australia; argues a case for the internationalisation of the law curriculum; discusses the various approaches a law school might take to internationalisation in its teaching programs; outlines a typology for an internationalised law curriculum; and applies that typology to one area of legal study – the law of contracts. |
