The project, led by Professor John Prebble and Māmari Stephens, Senior Lecturer at the Faculty, involved student interns preparing abstracts of scholarly papers by members of the Faculty of Law for posting on the Social Sciences Research Network (SSRN).
Victoria’s Faculty of Law has its own page on the network, allowing the work of Faculty members to be accessible to a wider international audience, which have been published in a variety of global journals.
The four interns who volunteered to assist the project are law students Aynsley Wood and Dion Blummont; arts and design student, Olivia Miller; and Silvia Rodriguez Atencio, a lawyer from Argentina who is now working in Wellington.
Woodward Street Chambers provided working space and oversight for the interns, which is greatly appreciated by the Faculty, says Pro Vice-Chancellor and Dean of Law Professor Tony Smith.
“Projects like this allow our staff and student to develop closer relationships with the Wellington law profession, and it showcases Victoria’s unique position in the heart of Wellington’s legal and political district.”
