Transnational Law
Last Updated Date:   30 June 2024


5 Units,  Semester 1

Course Description:
‘Transnational law’ refers to regulatory systems whose regulatory reach is not constrained by state borders. It is a relatively newly-emergent form of regulation with which persons with legal training are increasingly being asked to engage. Such engagement requires appreciation of how the different aspects of these distinctive legal systems interact with each other. This seminar will explore these interrelationships, giving the student a framework for evaluating what a particular transnational legal system can and cannot do; and how to best interact with that particular transnational legal system in order to secure outcomes that are both desirable and achievable.
