The Gilbert + Tobin Centre of Public Law in the Faculty of Law plays a prominent, independent role in public debate on issues vital to Australia's future: including Bills of Rights, the reconciliation process and native title, and the challenges of responding to terrorism. The Centre is a focal point for research into and discussion of important questions of public law for the academic, professional and wider community. The Centre's Associates, Project Directors and Postgraduate Students are engaged in research, teaching, media and consultancy work and events including conferences and seminars.
