The International Law Clinical Program gives students interested in International Law an experience of the practical application of International Law.
The International Law Clinical Program applies students' knowledge of international law and drafting and research skills to contemporary international law projects.
The main focus of the Clinical Program is responding to projects initiated by the Convenor and students working collaboratively.
The Clinical Program aims to project the knowledge and skills of the ANU College of Law generally and in International Law in particular, and to enhance appreciation of International Law among influential Australian Government and NGO communities.
Students must apply to undertake this course. Please go to Law Professional Experience for application information.
