Reimagining Legal Capability
This article considers how the Capabilities Approach (CA) can inform access to justice scholarship, policy, and practice in view of the pressing urgency of climate change. It argues that substituting the narrowly defined “legal capability” with a comprehensive CA-informed framework will better position public legal services to deliver effective access to justice for people most at risk of climate harm. A description of how access to justice schol…

Sharing Responsibility for Disaster Justice
In February 2022, millions of Australians were glued to their televisions and social media watching rolling footage of flooding in South-East Queensland and Northern New South Wales. When the rain finally ceased and the flood water subsided, residents were left to contend with damage estimated to exceed A$4.8 billion and an aftermath that extends to the present day (Insurance Council of Australia, 2022). With climate change accelerating, climate …
Exploring the tensions science teachers navigate as they enact their visions for science teaching
This paper reports on inservice science teachers’ collaborative feedback to each other on videos of their classroom teaching during debrief sessions. We aimed to understand how the teachers’ feedback reflected their vision for science education and how they collaboratively identified and discussed the misalignments between their vision and actual classroom practices. Ten videos of debrief sessions involving 17 K-12 science teachers participating …
Community lawyering and climate justice
Climate change threatens the livelihoods of poor and marginalised people as they have the least capacity to adapt, recover and respond to climate events. This article presents climate justice as a new frontier for the Australian community legal sector and puts forward three key reasons why community legal centres (CLCs) are ideally suited to the challenge of climate justice-related legal work
Climate Crisis, Legal Education and Law Student Well-Being
This article addresses the impact of the climate crisis on the mental health of young people in the context of legal education. It reviews the evidence on youth mental health regarding the climate crisis and applies it to what is already known about law student well-being. Drawing on theories of learning design, the article considers a range of pedagogical strategies that law schools can use to engage students who are committed to action on clima…

Exploring Inquiry in the Third Space
Using case studies, we describe what happens from novice to apprentice when preservice teachers learn to teach in an urban teacher-residency (UTR) program with a focus on inquiry. Our UTR operates within a "third space" in teacher education, seeking to realign traditional power relationships and to create an alternate arena where the roles of the university, school, teacher candidate, and community can be reimagined. This third space encourages p…
Teacher as Researcher, Teacher as Scholar, and Teacher as Leader
Too often, because of the static nature of schools and the dominant existence of high-stakes testing, professional learning for teachers is determined by administrators or policy and is facilitated by those who are not part of the school community using prepackaged programs. These initiatives run counter to authentic teacher inquiry where teachers enhance their understanding of students and learning and, ideally, develop new teaching practices (B…
Student Pro Bono and its Role in Contemporary Australian Law Schools
This article describes the persistently low levels of institutional law school support for pro bono programs in Australia. The authors examine the key differences between clinical legal education and student pro bono. In doing so, the authors draw on a case study from the University of Queensland Pro Bono Centre to demonstrate the key benefits of Australian law schools embracing student pro bono programs

This paper reports a survey of the awareness of, and attitudes to, post‐16 options of young people reaching minimum school‐leaving age as they were assessing the various local opportunities open to them in the sixth form, further education colleges and youth training. Questionnaire data on post‐16 intentions and careers‐related experience were collected from 10 schools (seven maintained (12‐16 and 12‐18) and three independent) in one local educat…
