Reform seeks to provide a forum to engage a broad cross-section of the community in constructive, high quality debate on issues of national and international law reform. The journal aims to highlight shortcomings in current laws, facilitate discussion on opportunities for uniformity and reform and recognize significant innovation in law and legal practice. It also provides a comparative analysis of local and overseas reform initiatives.

The views expressed by contributors to Reform are not necessarily those of the publisher, the Australian Law Reform Commission.
