"I chose to go on the Zurich Overseas Elective as it was a great opportunity to travel and study in an area I am passionate about.  Concepts of technology are increasingly becoming commonplace in law. While a lot of focus is placed on innovation, less is placed on the substantive legal issues that may arise. This course explored those issues from the perspective of three jurisdictions – Australia, Europe and the US. It was particularly valuable to consider alternate perspectives, because the place of technology in law is much more mature in overseas jurisdictions. By the end of the trip, we had canvassed multiple issues that will no doubt become relevant in Australia in the near future."
