The Canberra Seminar in Australian Law is a two-week program that introduces students to the basics of Australian law. Currently there are two universities - Aoyama Gakuin University and Ritsumeikan University - participating in this program on a regular basis. The interest in the program has grown over the years, from just 20 students in 2007 to 50 students (with the participation of Osaka University) in 2012. During the first week students attend intensive Legal English Language classes. In the second week, students are introduced to different areas of Australian law such as public law, criminal law, contracts, torts and Australian indigenous law by ANU law lecturers. Over the two-week period, students also have the opportunity to visit Australia’s iconic sites around Canberra including the Federal Parliament, the High Court of Australia, the Australian War Memorial, and Gold Creek Sheep Station. During their stay, students are hosted by families in Canberra, and learn to use the local buses to get around. They also have a great time enjoying the shopping delights of the Canberra Centre. Details of past Canberra Seminars are available here. Gold Coast Seminar on Australian Law The Gold Coast Seminar on Australian Law, held at Bond University, introduces students to Australian law and culture over a two-week program, with a focus on comparative perspectives. The course includes excursions related to Australian culture and law. In 2012, the Gold Coast Seminar will be held from Monday, 27 August through to Friday, 7 September. Proposed dates for the 2013 Gold Coast Seminar are 26 August to 6 September 2013.
