In this capstone subject students will conduct in-depth research and produce a substantial research paper on a topic relevant to competition and consumer law. Students will be individually supervised in their research by an academic, including in relation to the identification of their research topic and methodological design. It will be open to students to formulate topics and draw on methods aligned with their legal background and interests.
Students will be expected to undertake a project that investigates research questions and draws on research methods that are primarily law-related. These students will be encouraged to identify research questions for the project that will be directly relevant to their particular areas of interest in legal practice in this field (for example, in mergers, cartels or unilateral conduct).
Students will master sophisticated research and analytical techniques in conceptualising research frameworks, drawing on and synthesising extensive material from a range of sources to enrich their analysis and conclusions and exploring at an advanced level the legal, economic and practical implications of their findings. The subject will involve students in presenting their research project and being tested by experts on their research methods, analysis and conclusions, either in person at a workshop in Melbourne or online. Students will be encouraged to produce research papers of publishable quality and assisted in seeking out publication opportunities.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students will have developed:
- An advanced knowledge of the topic relevant to their competition and consumer law research project;
