Abstract
ABSTRACT Precarious work is becoming increasingly prevalent in academe, as tenured opportunities diminish and university employment practices adapt to a volatile and internationalised funding context. This article explores the notion of precarious work as it applies to academic work, particularly in the context of legal education. It analyses available statistical evidence to map and unpack the prevalence of precarious work in higher education in the United Kingdom and Australia. Drawing on an original empirical survey of law academics in the UK and Australia, the article examines the implications of increasing employment precarity for legal education.
