Students will acquire the capacity to identify and analyse constitutional issues and to apply them in relevant factual contexts which they are likely to encounter in practice. The unit will examine the role of the High Court, and the trends in interpretive styles that have developed, and apply to contemporary constitutional problems. -- Course Website
