The need to produce law graduates with the capacity and competency to engage in complex practice has been widely noted in commentary on legal education. This article suggests that the idea of teaching students to 'think like a lawyer' necessarily includes a strong research component.

One powerful notion that permeates the Law School at the University of New South Wales is that first year law has a significant 'gatekeeper' role. The School recognises the importance of identifying students who are struggling in order to offer appropriate social and academic support. Clearly, the vast majority of students are eminently capable of the conceptual work underlying a law degree. Students struggle for reasons other than intellectual capacity, so since 1997 the Law School has supported the Law Peer Tutors program as a way to address these other issues that can hinder students and lead some of them to drop out in first year. Evidence suggests that this dropping out results from a feeling of not belonging or a general alienation from the culture of university. It appears that students who identify as part of a community remain and progress. First year is therefore a significant time to ensure that students are encouraged to identify as 'law students' and see themselves as connected to the academic community in general, and particularly to the staff and students in the Law School. The program is jointly funded by the Law School and The Learning Centre and uses a model of peer-to-peer tutoring to ensure students have a successful transition to university. It focuses on offering academic support, but via its small group structure has a social dimension which helps to tackle some of the reasons identified in surveys of students' decisions not to complete first year. Approximately 150 First Year students and 15 Law Peer Tutors are involved in the program each year.
新南威尔士大学(University of New South Wales)法学院弥漫着一种强烈的观念,即第一年的法律是一个重要的“看门人”角色。为了提供适当的社会和学术支持,学院认识到识别正在挣扎的学生的重要性。显然,绝大多数学生都有能力完成法律学位基础上的概念性工作。学生们因为智力以外的原因而挣扎,所以自1997年以来,法学院一直支持法律同伴导师项目,作为解决这些其他问题的一种方式,这些问题可能会阻碍学生,导致他们中的一些人在第一年辍学。有证据表明,这种退学源于一种没有归属感的感觉或与大学文化的普遍疏远。那些认同自己是社区一部分的学生似乎会留下来并取得进步。因此,第一年是一个重要的时期,要确保鼓励学生将自己定位为“法律学生”,并将自己视为与整个学术团体,特别是与法学院的教职员工和学生联系在一起。该项目由法学院和学习中心共同资助,采用点对点辅导模式,确保学生顺利过渡到大学。它侧重于提供学术支持,但通过它的小团体结构有一个社会维度,这有助于解决在学生决定不完成第一年的调查中确定的一些原因。每年大约有150名一年级学生和15名法律同伴导师参与该计划。

Details of a pedagogical method in a specific law practice course titled 'Practising Law: Successful Strategies', which involves student-led classes on issues such as client care, marketing, insurance, law partnership concepts are presented. It is concluded that the law practice course enables law schools to foster skills sets such as communication, negotiation and team work among students, while also allowing students to be better prepared for the practical side of the profession.

The post-war expansion of government programs has seen the establishment of numerous tribunals to make decisions, or to hear appeals from government decisions, in areas as diverse as planning, migration and guardianship. At the same time, the need to regulate occupational groups has led to a proliferation of industry-specific disciplinary tribunals. All of these can be considered to be administrative tribunals, although no clear line separates them from “court- substitute” tribunals which adjudicate disputes relating to private rights and liabilities.
