Opportunities and Challenges

Beschreibung

This book adopts a comparative and empirical approach to the discussion relating to the subject matter. The book compares various selected topics in both China and Australia, drawing attention to historical, contemporary, and international characteristics. Also, in discussing the topics, the authors will conduct surveys and interviews to get first-hand materials and describe the real situations in both countries. To the best knowledge of the authors, this is the first time that this approach has been adopted to compare legal education and the legal profession focusing on China and Australia.

This book introduces legal education and the legal profession in China and Australia to lay a foundation based on which it further compares them. More importantly, this book discusses some selected topics relating to legal education and the legal profession in the context of globalization, the digital age, and COVID-19.

The intended readership is an international audience including students at both undergraduate and graduate levels, legal scholars, and legal practitioners in general, and those in China and Australia in particular.

This book intends to analyse the discourse of legal education and identify and create innovative ways of teaching and learning the law in China and Australia. It focuses on research, theory, and practice within legal education and the legal profession based on imaginative and sophisticated educational thinking from an empirical and comparative perspective. It also takes a broad view of theory and practice relating to legal education and the legal profession. It is sensitive to the diversity of contexts in which law is taught, learned, and practised.
