“Law, as a professional discipline, is best studied and appreciated in a broader educational context, and with some experience of life and human nature. The new course structure proposed at The University of Western Australia, under which law is to be studied at the post-graduate level, will facilitate this and enhance the educational experience for students. It will also provide those who go on to practise law with a broader educational base which should enable them to better serve the community.” Hon. Wayne Martin, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Western Australia
