COURSE DESCRIPTION
The specialisation in Asian law is ideal for lawyers and other professionals dealing with Asian legal systems in commercial, legal or policy capacities, or for researchers and scholars interested in Asia.
International and domestic students will benefit from the diversity of subjects, exposure to teaching staff who speak Asian languages and who have lived and practiced law in Asian jurisdictions. It will also provide access to the Asian Law Centre – Australia’s first and largest centre devoted to developing understandings of Asian laws and legal systems and its sister centre, CILIS, which is devoted to the study of Indonesian law and Islamic law across the Asian region.
Covering a range of Asian legal systems and societies, the program offers insights into laws, institutions and their reform and practices that will determine how governments, businesses and broader stakeholders interact within and across borders.
As a student in the Graduate Diploma of Asian Law, you’ll develop an advanced understanding of the complex body of knowledge in the field of Asian law, including:
- The legal systems of East and South East Asia in their social, political and economic context
- How Asian lawyers, business people, legislators and leaders may respond to particular legal issues
- The relevance of different Asian legal experiences in Australia.
