Course description

In this course, changing professional practice issues are addressed and linked to legislative changes that require lawyers to have enhanced knowledge, skills and ethical awareness of practice changes. For example, this course may focus upon changing professional requirements, professional indemnity issues, and areas of substantive practice change. It is possible that in response to projected changes in the corporations area, the focus may also involve changes to the Corporations Law and their impact upon practice. The course will be conducted in a three-day intensive block of classes (9 am-5 pm) followed by a one-day class approximately six weeks later during which students will present their research-in-progress.
