Legal Systems of the Pacific

LAWS6929

This unit is a conspectus of contemporary law and legal problems in selected countries of the Pacific, including Fiji, the Solomon Islands, Samoa, Tonga and Vanuatu. These legal systems will be dealt with in the light of the history, demography, economy, political structures and cultures of the various jurisdictions. The unit will include some input from a number of Australian lawyers who have practised in these countries and who can illuminate written descriptions of the law by insights gained from their own direct experiences.
