Justice Roslyn Atkinson launched the Bond University Research Centre for Law, Governance and Public Policy today.
The Centre is led by Professor Patrick Keyzer, a constitutional lawyer who, along with Debbie Kilroy OAM, who was recently shortlisted for an Australian Human Rights Award in the Law category.
The Centre was set up to conduct socio-legal research in public and applied legal studies, and to provide consulting services to government and non-government organisations. It has 21 academic members with wide-ranging expertise.
Set up to capitalise on cross-Faculty multidisciplinary research opportunities, the Centre is presently coordinating six research projects involving 17 academics across all of Bond University’s Faculties.
Two major symposia are scheduled to take place in early 2011: The Courts and the Media in the Digital Era and Australasian Solicitors-General Conference: History, Contemporary Practice and Impact.
