LAW 3608 - Law Research Project

This course enables students to pursue an internship opportunity involving applied legal research undertaken under the supervision of Adelaide Law School staff, either solely in collaboration with school staff members or in partnership with an external organisation. Examples of opportunities for student researchers with external partners include: the Space Security Index project (a joint initiative of Project Ploughshares, George Washington University, McGill University, and the University of Adelaide), the Australian Navigational Guide Explaining Laws for Space (ANGELS) project, projects with the International Committee of the Red Cross and collaborations through Cooperative Research Centres including the Cyber Security CRC and SmartSat CRC. Students will undertake applied legal research on a real-world project, complete reflections as they progress, and submit a research essay demonstrating the applied 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 through a competitive selection process.
