AgLaw — about us

About the Ag Law Centre

We practice and provide innovative scholarship on laws and institutions affecting rural communities.

Our focus is on institutional reforms that will improve:

  • Sustainable use of natural resources, and
  • The quality of rural life.

We achieve our aims by:

  • Drawing on the legal scholarship of the School of Law at UNE;
  • Drawing on the substantial intellectual resources from the Faculties of the Professions and Arts and Sciences of UNE;
  • Using the Centre’s extensive network of local and international academic and commercial collaborators;
  • Working closely with a number of Research Centres hosted at UNE;
  • Supervising PhD and Masters students from Australia and overseas;
  • Offering a suite of distance-learning Masters subjects in natural resource governance; and
  • Working with our research associates.
