Reform and renewal in constitutional interpretation and legal education

Mon Nov 14 2016

Prof Michael Coper has had a distinguished career as a constitutional lawyer and educationalist, from influencing a dramatic change in the law on s 92 of the Constitution, to conceiving the pioneering Oxford Companion to the High Court of Australia, to urging law schools, nationally and internationally, to embrace a pervasive ethos of law reform, social justice and public service. The ANU is celebrating Michael’s career with a conference in his honour with over 20 eminent speakers ranging over new and different ways of thinking about and doing law and legal education, from the vagaries of legal doctrine, to the realities of the judicial process, to the insights we can draw from biography and imagery, to the purposes and values that underpin the role of law schools. Further information about the conference and registration can be found here.
