Supreme Court of Korea Overseas Research and Study Program
Each year since 2006, the Asian Law Centre has hosted a Judge from Korea as part of the Overseas Research and Study Program of the Supreme Court of Korea. The Program enables Judges from Korea to experience life in a jurisdiction outside Korea for a 6-12 month period and provides them with a valuable opportunity to study Australian law courses, access University resources and undertake research and training activities, including visits to Victorian courts and meetings with court personnel.
In 2009, the Supreme Court of Korea Overseas Research and Study Program was extended to include Clerks of Court.
