The School of Law offers students a setting rich in history and diversity.
We ensure that our graduates satisfy the requirements for legal practice and that they view the law not only as an end in itself but also as a vehicle for making society fairer in Tasmania, Australia and globally.
We have a strong research focus on environmental and Antarctic Law, human rights and criminology. In addition, the Law School houses the Centre for Law and Genetics as well as the Tasmania Law Reform Institute.
Graduates from the School have pursued a wide variety of careers encompassing all forms of legal practice, as well as engaging in business, industry, government, politics strategy, journalism, Law reform, publishing and academia. We’ve also produced many governors and premiers of Tasmania.
Review of the Coroners Act
The Tasmania Law Reform Institute (TLRI) has been asked by the Attorney-General to review the Coroners Act 1995 (Tas) and relates rules, procedures and practices of the Magistrates Court (Coronial Division)
Feedback from people who have interacted with the coronial system will help to inform what amendments might be made to the legislation. You can share your views in a survey, in an in-person consultation or through a voicemail recording and you have until the 25 September 2026 to make a submission.
“Coroners play important role for grieving loved ones and in advocating for change.”
To participate, visit the consultation page to find out the different ways you can contribute.
