The twelfth annual Public Law in the Classroom workshop will be held at UNSW Sydney and online on Thursday, 5 February 2026. Please register here.
The workshop is organised by the Gilbert + Tobin Centre of Public Law at UNSW, the Public Law and Policy Research Unit at Adelaide University, the Castan Centre for Human Rights Law at Monash University and the School of Law at Western Sydney University. The past 11 workshops have been a great success, each attracting public law teachers from across the country and internationally.
The first panel session will focus on Teaching with Indigenous Legal Traditions, and will explore how we as public law teachers can incorporate Indigenous perspectives, knowledge and laws into our teaching of core public law units. The second panel session will focus on Assessment – and specifically the drafting of problem questions. The third panel session will focus on AI and Public Law, and will examine the opportunities and challenges in integrating AI tools into teaching, assessment, and student engagement in public law courses. The fourth panel session will focus on Public Law Practice and Teaching, and will provide the opportunity to hear from those engaged in public law practice about how their day-to-day work intersects with public law issues, and how what they learnt at law school (or wish they had learnt at law school) supports their public law practice.
We hope to see many of you in Sydney or online!
