Research clusters

Late in 2002, research clusters were established to encourage and profile research performance within the Law School.

A cluster is an association of academics with a commonality of research interests. By setting an environment for discussion and mentoring, research clusters facilitate collegiality and collaboration between members.

The clusters supplement the various centres already established in the Law School, including:

• Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law - Sydney (ACCEL)
• Centre for Asian Pacific and Law (CAPLUS)
• Centre for Health Governance, Law and Ethics
• Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence
• Ross Parsons Centre of Commercial, Corporate and Taxation Law
• Sydney Centre for International and Global Law
• The Institute of Criminology, University of Sydney

Fourteen clusters are presently associated with the Law School, indicative of the breadth and diversity its research strength:
