Law Program
In acknowledgment of Sir Ninian Stephen’s contribution to Australia, the law and the Foundation, the Menzies Foundation launched the Ninian Stephen Law Program in 2019.
Each 3 years, the Foundation will identify a key legal challenge and seek partners to build a leadership capability platform to support Australia’s legal fraternity to address this issue.
Each program will focus on four key elements:
- An immersive training platform based on real time, problem-centered global legal challenges
- A research agenda to support the development of the training program and contribute to knowledge in the field
- A thought leadership platform to develop a community of interest and encourage discourse across the community of stakeholders
- An Oration and Speaker Series
The inaugural program is focused on Emerging Technologies, and more specifically cyber risk and resilience and Artificial Intelligence.
