International and Comparative Law
Convenor: Associate Professor Anthony Gray
The work of the International and Comparative Law concentration is expected to include a comparison of the law of Australia with other countries in a variety of substantive legal areas including human rights, trade law, environmental law and constitutional law. Laws affecting relations between countries are also considered, as well as legal issues arising from transactions or events which involve connections with more than one jurisdiction.

- Choice of law
- Cross-border jurisdiction
- Transnational enforcement of judgments
- International trade and commercial law
- The law of the European Union
- Fisheries
- International environmental law
- Human rights law
