EDITORS’ FOREWORD

We are thrilled to introduce you to this second volume of WALTR — the Western Australian Law Teachers’ Review. Since the successful publication of the first volume in February 2023, we have made some exciting changes to WALTR.

In particular, we have introduced a more formalised process for double-anonymous peer review of articles. We extend our thanks to all who made this volume possible by voluntarily reviewing submissions.

In addition to longer-form scholarly articles, WALTR now has a new contribution category — 'teaching notes'. Teaching notes provide authors with opportunities to publish writing which is not suitable as a scholarly article, but is nonetheless of interest to other law teachers. A wide variety of writing may fall into this category, including short reflections on teaching and assessment experiences, contextualised lesson plans for other law teachers (including those teaching political and legal studies in secondary schools), and opinion pieces relating to teaching and learning in law.

We have also assembled an Editorial Advisory Committee comprising local, national and international law academics, as well as current and former Western Australian judges and tribunal members. The Committee will commence in their advisory roles in August 2024.

WALTR continues to publish valuable, engaging articles on topics relating to legal education. Ultimately seven pieces from eleven authors are published in this second volume. We thank everybody who has contributed to this volume for its successful publication.
