Abstract
Legal education in Australia is traditionally focused on teaching the ‘Priestley 11’ core areas of legal knowledge and the skills necessary for legal practice. More recently, a range of factors have prompted a shift in legal education towards exploring the ‘broader context’ in which legal issues arise, which may include a range of socio -legal considerations, such as race, culture, gender and Indigenous perspectives. 1 Yet to do so, legal educators need to move beyond doctrinal methods of teaching law, so that they can engage law students in a meaningful way, as well as in a way that can work with and through 'wicked' problems.
‘wicked’ problems.
