| Summary |
The Australian civil justice system has a reputation for being inaccessible, costly, inefficient and slow. In response, there have been signigicant changes in an effort to streamline legal proceedings and make them more affordable, changes which have altered the roles of the various participants in the system. This volume focuses on the relationship between civil justice reform and legal education, exploring questions such as: What new roles and skills are required of legal professionals? How should legal educators respond to changes that emerge from the reform process? What might Australia learn from examining other countries? What role can legal education and training play in effecting reform? |
