Description
This subject enhances and builds upon law studies as they relate to children; in particular, constitutional law, criminal law, contracts, torts and the law of evidence. The subject includes issues ranging from children's rights, child development theory, care and protection (including fostering), preschool and school education, civil liability, juvenile justice, legal representation, access to medical treatment and procedures. The present law in New South Wales is considered as well as the historical development of laws relating to children, proposed reforms and comparative material from other jurisdictions. The subject combines both a theoretical and a vocational approach to the study of these issues and is not only of benefit to students interested in these issues, but also to those students considering a career, or enhancing their career, in legal practice and/or the delivery of children's legal services.
