Drawing on extensive research and interviews in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Canada, Margaret Thornton considers the impact of the market on students, academics and law schools, documenting how both the curriculum and pedagogical methods have changed. If the passing of the idea of the university is rued, concern usually focuses on the humanities and the natural sciences. In this respect, law has been regarded as privileged because of the virtually unstoppable demand for law places and the willingness of students to pay high fees. And, as this book shows, it is commercial and instrumental forms of legal training that are now favoured, whilst the humanistic, critical, theoretical and social justice aspects of legal knowledge have now been corroded. Privatising the Public University will be of considerable interest to legal academics; but it will also be invaluable work for anyone interested in the future of higher education"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aLaw schools$zCommonwealth countries 606 $aLaw$xStudy and teaching$zCommonwealth countries 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLaw schools 615 0$aLaw$xStudy and teaching 676 $a340.071/11712411 700 $aThornton$b Margaret.$0727627 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461488403321 996 $aPrivatising the public university$92246105 997 $aUNINA
