School research
An international centre for law research, the School of Law and Justice delivers innovative research that builds upon the clinical work undertaken by our University Legal Centre.
We also undertake collaborative research partnerships with business, industry and government in our region, across the nation and internationally.
Our researchers
Our researchers engage in academic, as well as applied and evidence-based research that focuses on promoting local, national and international access to justice.
They publish consistently in top national and international journals, contribute to policy reform by providing submissions and expert evidence to government inquiries, and have been the recipients of prestigious grants and funding.
The University of Newcastle acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands within our footprint areas: Awabakal, Darkinjung, Biripai, Worimi, Wonnarua, and Eora Nations. We also pay respect to the wisdom of our Elders past and present.
