There are two main avenues for research visitors to the CMCL: through teaching in the specialist graduate program, or taking part in the research visitors program.
Graduate Program in Communications Law
Many outstanding academics and legal practitioners combine research visits to the CMCL with teaching in the Law School's Graduate Program in Communications Law, in which students undertake graduate diploma, LLM or SJD studies. Most subjects are taught intensively across one week of seminars, which makes them attractive to visiting staff and to students, especially those who already practice in law or media and communications industries.
Senior Fellows teaching in the program have included Professor David Anderson (University of Texas, US); Professor Eric Barendt (University College London, UK); Professor Jacqui Lipton (Case Western Reserve University, US); Michael Lloyd-Jones (Federal Magistrates Court of Australia); and Professor Russell Weaver (University of Louisville, US).
Research Visitors Program
The CMCL also has established a Research Visitors Program and seeks to award short-term fellowships to academics, practising lawyers or media industry professionals. Fellowships enable visitors to spend between two and four weeks in Melbourne devoted to research. Fellows will be provided with accommodation near the Law School, as well as having the use of the School's outstanding research facilities. Researchers will be appointed as honorary Senior Fellows within the Law School during their Fellowship.
The CMCL welcomes proposals from academics and practitioners in all areas of media and communications law and policy, including interdisciplinary work drawing on a wide range of social and cultural research. In general, the CMCL will give preference to innovative proposals from individuals with outstanding track records relative to their experience within the field.
