Legal Education, Privatization and the Market Joshua Krook

Neoliberalism has come to shape every aspect of Australian legal education, from the curriculum and classes to the students themselves. This book aims to chronicle the changes neoliberalism has wrought on Australian legal education over the last few decades.

Where once, law schools produced bastions of honourable and ethical practices, today's law schools produce bland enforcers of the law, incapable of questioning the very principles that form the bedrock of their education. In challenging the current legal education system, Krook looks to the declining prevalence of justice, fairness and morality in the curriculum and the rise and rise of corporate law.
