The Law School welcomes Professor Anne Macduff and nine students from the Australian National University College of Law. Macduff is a faculty member and teaches Legal Theory, Family Law, Evidence, and Foundations of Australian Law. While in Tuscaloosa, Macduff will team-teach a course on Comparative Race Law with Professor Bryan Fair, while the students will participate in a five-week period of intensive study.
The visit is part of a reciprocal summer school program that the Law School initiated in 2001 with the ANU’s College of Law. Under the program, up to 10 law students from UA travel to Canberra every July-August to visit the country’s High Court, the local Supreme Court, and the Commonwealth Parliament. The program has been directed from its inception by Professor Bill Andreen. During the past 14 years, 130 students from each law school (260 total) have participated in the program. In addition, 14 professors from the law school have taught at the ANU, while 14 ANU professors have taught at Alabama.
