Subject coordinator: J Burn

This subject allows students to undertake a social justice research project in groups of between three and five students. Research briefs are prepared by the UTS Community Law Centre or other community organisations in collaboration with the Law Centre. Projects may include a law reform submission, a report, developing legal education resources, consulting with communities and carrying out interviews.

Students work with organisations on a project of benefit to the broader community. The projects introduce students to the dynamics of law reform, community consultations and the impact of politics on the legal system and give students direct knowledge of how the law operates in practice. Past projects have resulted in published articles or led directly to law reform. A list of past projects is available on the Community Law Centre's website at:
