Course overview
This course enables students to pursue legal research under the supervision of Adelaide Law School staff, either solely in collaboration with School staff members or in partnership with an external organisation that supports the student through an internship or similar opportunity. Students will undertake legal research, complete reflections as they progress, and submit a research essay demonstrating the research skills they have mastered through participation in the course. Students and staff will be encouraged to publish and otherwise promote the outcome of their research collaborations where that does not contravene the arrangement with any external partners. Enrolment in this course will be by application.
