Early Australian legal education was dominated by a few outstanding law academics who, because of the structure of the original law schools, were mostly confined to the employment of just one full-time law academic by each individual law school. It has only been since the end of World War II that the concept of the modern law school with a large number of employed full-time law teachers has become the accepted norm. This has been accompanied by a dramatic increase in the number of law students which has inevitably given rise to the introduction of changing forms of teaching and instruction, both inside and outside the lecture theatre, a location which in itself could be a fading teaching construct. The Panel, composed of experienced law academics, will consider whether the legal education community ever did recognise any of their peers as being regarded as legends in their own lifetime and whether new approaches to legal teaching and research has made such law academics obsolete.
