“The great result this year reflects the outstanding and improving research impact and engagement of the School of Law and UOW’s ANCORS research institute,” Professor Picker said.

“Their work provides groundbreaking research that has had real-world impact on numerous diverse fields critical to our lives today - including, among many other fields: criminal law, human rights, banking law, international trade law and fisheries and oceans research.
