Information about fees and unit costs
Sentencing law has become a specialised area of research and practice over the past two decades in the United Kingdom and the United States, and increasingly so in Australia. In practice, this is particularly so for barristers and specialist criminal law practitioners. Increasingly, law schools have undergraduate and postgraduate units in this area. Almost all Australian jurisdictions have now introduced specialised sentencing legislation, introducing discrete principles and thereby ensuring that a separate discipline area of sentencing law has emerged, complete with its own discourse. It is therefore appropriate that sentencing law should feature as a postgraduate unit in its own right.
