| The Centre for Public,
International and Comparative Law was established in September
2003. It is dedicated to advanced research in areas including:
- Public International Law
- Private International Law
- Comparative Law
- Constitutional Law
- Administrative Law
- Human Rights Law
- Law of Institutions (including educational, religious &
professional institutions)
- Legal Philosophy
- International Criminal and Humanitarian Law
- The Law of International Organisations
CPICL brings together a large group of faculty members and doctoral
students who are actively engaged in research and teaching in
these areas. The Centre seeks collaborative links and scholarly
exchanges with other disciplines within the University, and with
like-minded research organisations around the world.
Support is provided by the Centre for doctoral research and currently
15 doctoral students work with the supervision of the Fellows
of the Centre. Fellows and other Centre members also contribute
to the graduate program of the School of Law by the conduct of
courses in its research areas.
The Centre disseminates its research through public seminars,
conferences and a publication program is being developed. Since
2004, the Centre has published the LAWASIA Journal in
partnership with LAWASIA, The Law Association for Asia and the
Pacific. CPICL is building links with relevant government and
public institutions and offers consultancy services in its areas
of expertise. |
