Title: Perpetuating Racism: Legal Education, Race and Social Justice
Abstract: By presenting the results of a content analysis of Australian undergraduate legal education,
this paper examines the extent to which issues of race, ethnicity, discrimination, and
multiculturalism feature within this component of the moral, ethical, and professional
development of legal professionals. It will demonstrate that instead of encouraging a deep,
critical and contextual understanding of such issues, legal education provides a relatively
superficial one, which has important implications for the role that legal professionals play in
overcoming injustices such as institutional racism, and the kinds of social reform that they
are likely to undertake.
