The course will be taught jointly by a visiting ANU academic and an academic from the University of Alabama Law School. While the specific subject area of the course will vary from year to year, depending on the particular field of interest of the ANU/UA visitors, it will involve a comparative study of Australian and US approaches to the particular subject matter. Assessment details, teaching methods and type of course materials will vary from year to year depending on the subject matter and personnel involved in each offering of the course, but will be specified prior to student enrolment in the course.

In 2009, the course will involve a comparative study of Australian and US approaches to selected topics within Criminal Law and Procedure.

Details of the final assessment will be provided on the course home page.

Taught at the University of Alabama Law School in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in January-February.

Criminal Law and Procedure LAWS1206. 
Completed or completing five LAWS courses at 1000 level.

Enrolment in this summer course is restricted to the students who have been accepted in the 5-week intensive ANU/US Joint Teaching Program. Priority will generally be given to later year students (12 or less semester courses left to complete). Subject to this priority, students will be selected on a first-come first-serve basis, as enrolment will be strictly limited (10 students in 2008).  Where appropriate, academic merit may be taken into account.

Please refer to LAWS2248 course home page.

To derive maximum benefit from the course, it is suggested that students undertake it in the latter part of their studies, when they have achieved a reasonable degree of familiarity with law in general and with the particular subject area of the course in any given year.
