A group of Higher Degree by Research students with the support of the ANU College of Law and the ANU Pro-Vice Chancellor
(Research) have developed the HDR Law Commons Initiative. The Commons Initiative has been set up as a support and
learning network for law students studying for a PhD, SJD or MPhil degree.

The aim of the Commons is to create an environment and forum where students can build support and professional networks,
to share and brainstorm their ideas, and to expose and be exposed to different perspectives on study, research, and work.

As part of the Commons Initiative HDR students will meet monthly (currently the first Wednesday of the month at 1pm) at
the North West Commons in the Law Building to discuss aspects of their research, study and welfare. These discussions
will often feature a guest but will be discursive rather than presentation in style.

It is intended that the Commons will also exist as a network, as a means to connect HDR students who otherwise spend long
periods in solitary modes of study.

All members of the ANU Community may participate in the Commons Initiative through the dedicated wiki, where past
recorded discussions, notes, plans, and ideas are stored.

ANU College of Law Centres

The Australian Centre for Environmental Law (ACEL) was established in 1991 to create a critical mass of environmental law and policy expertise. Since its inception, ACEL has established itself as the leading centre for environmental law and policy teaching and research in Australia. ACEL also engages in a wide range of research and consultancy projects relating to both domestic and international environmental law.

The Centre for Commercial Law's (CCL) functions include encouraging commercial law research and teaching in the Law Faculty, and conducting seminars and workshops for legal practitioners, government, and the business community on commercial law issues, particularly as they affect government commercial practice.

The Centre for International and Public Law (CIPL) was established in 1990 and its primary focus is legal aspects of the international order and issues of public law, particularly the relationship between governments and individuals.

The Centre for Law and Economics (CLE) has been established to become a Trans-Tasman centre of excellence in the application of economic analysis to law in Australia and New Zealand. All Government policy, whether taxation expenditure or pure property rights regulation, involves at its root laws enacted by Parliament or courts.

The John Fleming Centre for Advancement of Legal Research (JFCALR) was launched in 2007 with financial support from the Vice-Chancellor and the ANU College of Law. Its aim is to support and promote legal research in all areas and at all levels in the College, especially through conferences, workshops and a visitor program.

The Australian Network for Japanese Law (ANJeL) is an initiative of the law faculties at the Australian National University (ANU), the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and the University of Sydney (USyd). The core aim of ANJeL is to promote scholarly engagement with Japanese law, especially in Australia.
