- How can we prepare students to work in social welfare law in traditional forms of practice but also ways that might become more prevalent and important in the future? What skills and forms of knowledge do they need?
- How can we ensure that the knowledge of social welfare law stays prominent, current and continues to be reproduced and shared between generations of lawyers, academics and community organisers?
