Abstract

The paper examines some of the factors currently shaping graduate coursework in legal education in Australia. There is some suggestion that the undergraduate law degree is likely to become more generalist and that specialization will occur at the graduate level with professional registration to follow. The shift from the somewhat insular and self-regulating culture of Australian law schools to a powerful mix of state and market-controlled environment has occurred in a very short space of time. The impact of graduate studies programmes on the undergraduate degree is yet to be assessed as graduate courses become significant sources of income, differentiation and status for the established schools.
