About the Journal

Focus and Scope

The University of South Australia Law Review aims to showcase UniSA law student work to the world in a modern and unique fashion, while engaging with both the profession and wider academic community.

It is the wish of this Journal that the scholarly works of students at UniSA are explored, celebrated, critiqued by the world at large in an easily accessible fashion. The authors and Editorial Board therefore wish to hear the thoughts of readers, and welcome the opportunity to discuss the claims made in these articles.
