ANU Law School · ANU College of Law, Governance and Policy
This course is intended to increase awareness of the importance of judicial reasoning, both as authority for the law and as a social artefact situated in time and place. The course aims to increase engagement with the techniques and conventions surrounding judicial reasoning, and to invite a critical engagement with the consequences implicit in adopting those conventions. The final assessment in the course will be for students to produce their own judgments, in a case of their choosing.
The proposed means of assessment for this course will provide students with at least two pieces of assessment, including one piece during the teaching period. More information about the means of assessment, including the relationship between the assessment and the learning outcomes of the course, will be available in the class summary and on the course Canvas page.
