Course overview

The Adelaide Law Review has been since 1962 the flagship publication of the Law School. The journal is peer reviewed and is committed to the publication of legal scholarship of the highest quality. The Course will introduce students to legal publishing and editing. Further students will consider the legal journal as a means of legal education. This course will involve students in the production of the annual editions of the journal. Students will consider the role of legal publications, critically analyse submitted material and comment upon a diverse range of legal scholarship. In addition students will develop skills in advanced legal writing, copy-editing and journal production.
