*********IMPORTANT ******
Email to all Legal Theory students from Pip Nicholson and Peter Rush (sent on 29 October 2009): All students will have received an email the Jd Program director and the Legal Theory coordinator today concerning the exam arrangments in Legal Theory. A copy of this email is posted on this subject page under "Current Assessment Materials".
Here, you will find any matters which may arise from time to time and which we wish to draw to your attention of a general nature about the running and teaching of the subject. It will also include copies of general emails sent to all students in Legal Theory.
Preparation for the first class (email sent 23 July): As you are aware, there is essential reading (listed in the Reading Guide) for the first class taking place next week. Wendy, Shaun and I wanted to make a number of comments on this reading which will assist in your preparation for the class. Please read the Subject Information and Reading Guide before coming to the class. Second, the course materials you should read for the first class are Goodrich and the Mabo extract (Brennan J). The Shklar does not have to be read for the first class - as you will note, it returns as essential reading in a later seminar (on justice and injustice), and in the first class we will make some brief remarks about the relevance of the Shklar reading for the start of the course. Could I also draw your attention to the Guest Lecture Series during the semester … In particular, the first Guest Lecture (by Dr Mike Kelly) is on the rule of law - a topic which you will encounter directly in the first module of Legal theory and specifically in the readings for seminar 1.1. Once again, welcome to legal theory and we all look forward to meeting you next week. Cheers, Peter.
