Preparing law graduates for a globalised world

Abstract
In this article it is argued that law graduates need to be prepared for
working in a global legal context. Whether working in global law firms or
small, local non-global law firms, law graduates need to have the knowledge,
skills and attributes that will better equip them to work within and
across multiple, international legal jurisdictions. The purpose of the article is
twofold: first, to report on and disseminate research on a collaborative
project on internationalising the Australian law curriculum aimed at preparing
law graduates for global legal practice, of which the authors were
the lead researchers; and second, to discuss and demonstrate the practical
application of the proposed curriculum framework to the teaching of
Constitutional Law.
