Credit points: 15
Subject outline
The chief tool for implementation of legal change is legislation. This subject critically examines the technique of parliamentary legislation as an ongoing process of achieving social change. The 'life cycle' of legislation is fully examined - from its emergence, drafting and parliamentary phases, to its post-enactment phases: its implementation and impact. Interdisciplinary perspectives and a case study of legislative change inform the subject. The subject has practical aims: to assist students in evaluating proposed or enacted legislation and to prepare students for participation in law reform, whether inside or outside of government.
