SIR ZELMAN COWEN CENTRE
Leadership. Excellence. Justice.

THE SIR ZELMAN COWEN CENTRE COURTS AND
TRIBUNALS ACADEMY, LOCATED IN THE HEART OF
MELBOURNE’S LEGAL PRECINCT, WILL WORK WITH
COURTS AND TRIBUNALS TO BUILD THE CAPACITY
OF COURT AND TRIBUNAL PERSONNEL THROUGH
TRAINING AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, RESEARCH
AND THOUGHT-LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES.
2

Named in honour of the late Sir Zelman Cowen
AK GCMG GCVO QC, the Sir Zelman Cowen
Centre is the postgraduate centre of Victoria
University’s College of Law & Justice and
provides law and law-related training and
education to the legal profession in Australia
and internationally, as well as for other
professionals seeking a better understanding
of law, governance and regulation.
Sir Zelman Cowen was one of Australia’s most
distinguished jurists. Born in Victoria in 1919, he
went on to study law at the University of Oxford and
in time was regarded as one of the world’s leading
constitutional lawyers. He was knighted and then
appointed Governor-General of Australia.
After his retirement as Governor-General, he
accepted the positions of Distinguished Visiting
Professor and Chair of the Victoria University
Foundation. As Chair of the Foundation, he led the
University’s efforts in gaining philanthropic support
for students in their studies, including contributions
for prizes and scholarships. On retiring as Chair
of the Foundation, he was appointed its Inaugural
Patron and remained a staunch friend of the
University until his sad passing in 2011.
The Centre has adopted Sir Zelman Cowen’s vision
of delivering programs that enhance community
understanding of the law and deepen the legal
profession’s understanding of community issues.

The Sir Zelman Cowen Centre has a long
tradition of providing training and research
of direct relevance to the work of courts and
tribunals, culminating in the establishment of
a Courts and Tribunals Academy in the heart
of Melbourne’s legal precinct.
The Academy will conduct specialist research,
serve as consultants and provide tailored
educational services, training and technical
support to courts and tribunals. All at a time
when courts and tribunals are reshaping
their leadership, management practice
and governance in response to heightened
public expectations for justice services
and demands for public sector transparency
and accountability.
We have consulted extensively with courts,
tribunals and other related organisations
to develop a practical, bespoke approach
that will satisfy the immediate needs of court
and tribunal staff across state and national
jurisdictions. Our expert Course Advisory
Committee will ensure that our work is
relevant, practical and serves the needs of
the sector.
Through our international collaborations, the
Academy will also be a thought-leader that
will establish world’s best-practice in court
and tribunal management. Memoranda of
understanding with the National Center for
State Courts in the USA and the Research
Institute on Judicial Systems in Italy are
just the beginning of our global reach.
Negotiations are underway for international
linkages with other institutions across North
America and Europe, bringing global
knowledge to our students and the wider
justice sector. We look forward to welcoming
regular international traffic of scholars and
practitioners working in this field.
The research, teaching and thought-
leadership opportunities of a university-based
Courts and Tribunals Academy will augment
the work of courts, tribunals and agencies in
enhancing the capacity of court and tribunal
personnel and the court system as a whole.
The Hon. Nicola Roxon
Chair, Sir Zelman Cowen Centre Advisory Board
Former Commonwealth Attorney-General
Message from the Chair

Courts and tribunals are key democratic
institutions responsible for promoting justice
and protecting the rule of law. They face
unique challenges in balancing expectations
of transparency and accountability with the
need to maintain the separation of powers
and the independence of the judiciary. Across
Australia, courts and tribunals are now facing
increasing public scrutiny and expectations for
responsiveness and quality.
Courts and tribunals are increasingly
responsible for their own budgets and
accountable for the delivery of justice
services for the public. High-order strategic
management and analytical skills are now
required to satisfy heightened community and
government expectations for an accessible,
fair and efficient justice system.
The Courts and Tribunals Academy will work
with courts and tribunals across national and
international jurisdictions to build the capacity
of court personnel and develop training
and educational programs to enhance their
knowledge, skills and abilities to provide
judicial services.
A key aim of the Academy is to grow a cadre
of researchers and skilled leaders within courts
and tribunals who understand management
and governance and have the skills to apply
the International Frameworks for Court
Excellence and Tribunal Excellence in the
Australian context. The Academy will deliver
this both as part of a formal qualification –
the Graduate Diploma in Court and Tribunal
Management - and as bespoke professional
development courses that recognise the
unique nature of courts and tribunals.
The Graduate Diploma will provide graduates
with direct pathways into highly regarded
graduate programs, such as the LLB, MBA,
Master of Project Management, Master of
Laws and other higher degrees by research.
Every unit in the full credential can also
be taken as a non-award professional
development course.
By equipping court and tribunal personnel
with the knowledge, skills and abilities they
will acquire through the Graduate Diploma
in Court and Tribunal Management, they will
be able to engage in reflective practice and
apply international standards of best practice
to their daily work.

Message from the Director

High-performing justice systems require
executives devoted to organisational leadership
and management with the skills to tackle
organisational problems that are sociopolitical,
cultural and human. Court executives and
managers who are well-educated and held in
high esteem for their expertise are best positioned
to lead courts and tribunals in critical areas such
as budgeting, rulemaking, strategic planning,
automated case management, information and
communication technology, and performance
measurement and management.
Launched by His Excellency General the
Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove AK MC (Retd)
and the Honourable Chief Justice Marilyn
Warren AC in October 2015, the Sir Zelman
Cowen Centre Courts and Tribunals Academy is
a unique institution in Australia, offering thought
leadership, credentialing and professional
development opportunities for court and tribunal
leaders and personnel as well as applied research
and international outreach in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Courts and Tribunals Academy is predicated on
the idea that the institutions of justice can improve
only when court leaders and professional managers
are supported and have access to continuous
training, education, and professional development.
An Academy for
Courts and Tribunals
Professionalising court and
tribunal administration through
a Graduate Diploma in Court
and Tribunal Management.
Tailored, practical professional
development courses for court
and tribunal staff.
Consultancy services for courts,
tribunals, public service, legal
and allied professions focusing
on performance and evaluation.
Applied research into court
and tribunal governance and
management, nationally and

Thought-leadership featuring
national and international experts.
OUR WORK
7

Effective judicial administration is necessary for
courts, tribunals and other justice system institutions
to be recognised as public-service organisations
that work to meet citizens’ needs in accordance with
rule-of-law principles that apply to all countries,
regardless of their different social, cultural,
economic, and political systems.
The Courts and Tribunals Academy will meet the
needs of jurisdictions at the state and federal level
and in our Asia-pacific region. Our expertise will
be enhanced by collaborations with our partner
international organisations and thought leaders
including the National Center for State Courts in the
USA among other partners.
In Victoria, the establishment of the Courts and
Tribunals Academy comes at a significant time
following the passage of the Court Services Victoria
Act in July 2014 and the move to self-management
for Victoria’s courts and tribunals. The historic
legislation signals a major transformation in the
justice system in Victoria.
While proudly Victorian in its genesis, the Academy
is a truly national body that will expand its reach into
the Asia-pacific region. In critical aspects, such as
leadership and management of judicial institutions
and resources, education is not unique to any one
state’s justice system. Issues of self-governance,
institutional independence, transparency, accountability,
organisational legitimacy, public trust and confidence,
and effective judicial administration are more alike
than different as one crosses state and national borders.
National and
International Focus
8

The Courts and Tribunals Academy will remain
relevant through direct engagement of rolling
secondees from courts and tribunals as project
leaders and teachers. Current secondees include
the Director of Policy and Strategy at the County
Court of Victoria and the Human Resources
Projects Adviser at Court Services Victoria.
Oversight of the Academy will be provided by a
profession based Course Advisory Committee.
The Academy will be able to draw on the
University’s extensive adjunct appointments from
across the justice sector, including the Honourable
Michael Kirby, the Honourable Justice Maxwell
President of the Court of Appeal, the Honourable
Michael Rozenes, His Honour Judge Misso,
His Honour Chief Magistrate Lauritsen and His
Honour Magistrate Kumar.
Conveniently situated in the heart of Melbourne’s
legal precinct at the City Queen Campus, the
Academy is well positioned to engage with
neighbouring courts, tribunals and justice agencies.

LEADERSHIP, CULTURE
AND INNOVATION
Court and tribunal leaders and personnel need
to be innovative and responsive in the face of
major organisational system challenges, and
lead and inspire teams. This unit of study
examines organisational and human resource
management principles in front-line court and
tribunal management, grounded in leadership
and organisational theory. The focus will be
on the importance of credible and effective
communication, research as a management
tool, the politics of resource allocation, and
methods for innovation and adaptation in
managing change. Case studies of transformative
organisational change in courts, tribunals and
other organisations will be explored.
Core subject overviews
AUSTRALIAN LEGAL SYSTEM
AND PROCESS
Courts and tribunals as institutions are shaped
by a combination of legal principles, historical
structures and modern procedures. The unit of
study will cover the purpose, values and role
of courts and tribunals and review the history
and origins of common law and the principles
underlying Australian jurisprudence. These
will be contrasted with those of other legal
systems, including civil law and customary law.
Key concepts in Australian law, including the rule
of law, the adversarial system, trial by jury, and
natural justice, will be explored alongside the
role of court and tribunal administrators within
this framework.
COURT AND TRIBUNAL
GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Courts and tribunals as organisations need
professional management of their resources and
workforce. This unit of study explores models of
court governance under the separation of powers
doctrine in theory and practice. New and emerging
challenges in improving court accountability and
governance, such as workload measurement
systems, information and data management, and
performance measurement and management, will
be examined. Participants will also examine the
role and ethical obligations of court and tribunal
leaders and personnel in the exercise of their
administrative and managerial responsibilities
within the context of an independent judiciary.
Other issues concerning access, privacy, security
and knowledge management will be studied.
15

SENTENCING THEORY
AND PRACTICE
Sentencing of offenders is the dominant work
of judicial officers in many jurisdictions and is
also, by repute, one of the most challenging
aspects of their work. This unit of study
examines the basis of sentencing law; the
distribution of sentencing authority between
the legislature, judiciary and executive; the
role of courts and court support services;
the application of sentencing principles and
discretion by judges; the impact of sentencing
on victims; and sanctions and orders
available to courts.
Jurisdiction Specific
subject overviews
APPROPRIATE DISPUTE
RESOLUTION
This unit of study provides an introduction
to processes for resolving both court
and non-court based disputes. The
unit interrogates the theory underlying
negotiation and mediation, including the
impact of therapeutic jurisprudence, and
critically reflects on the contexts in which
various forms of dispute resolution are
used. It investigates the causes of conflicts
and analyses the roles and objectives
of appropriate dispute resolution (ADR)
processes. The unit also examines remedies,
obligations, confidentiality, admissibility
and enforcement of ADR outcomes from
the perspective of both practitioners and
participants. It considers the obligations of
practitioners of ADR from legal, ethical and
social perspectives. The focus is national
and global, historical and future-directed.
16

ACCESS TO JUSTICE:
CURRENT ISSUES
The unit of study examines current issues
relevant to courts, tribunals and justice,
and in access to justice. Topics will change
from semester to semester according to the
expertise of the teaching staff. Likely topic
areas include: victims in the criminal justice
system; family violence; white collar crime
and integrity; access to justice in courts
and tribunals for communities with non-
English speaking backgrounds; and
self-represented litigants.
CURRENT ISSUES IN COURT
AND TRIBUNAL MANAGEMENT
Court and tribunal management is a dynamic
field of work. This unit of study examines current
issues relevant to courts, tribunals and justice,
in particular court and tribunal management.
Areas included in this unit will be: the impact of
changing demographics on courts and tribunals;
advances in science and technology and their
impact on courts and tribunals; case flow
and case management; particular challenges
for justice systems internationally; and the

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
This unit of study provides advanced knowledge
of financial management principles within the
context of the state and Commonwealth public
sector as well as the conventions and practices
underpinning these principles. The unit provides
an overview of key financial management
challenges for public administration including
accountability and transparency requirements.
Students will be introduced to the concepts of
accounting and their application in financial
planning, reporting and financial management
systems. Students will develop specialised
knowledge, skills and learning capabilities in
building a business case, financial planning and
financial reporting for public sector audiences.
PROJECT RISK
MANAGEMENT
In this subject participants will develop the
requisite knowledge and skills to identify and
classify complex aspects of risk management
within a project. The fundamentals of risk
management and risk management theories
are explored including: definitions of risks and
opportunities; risk management systems; risk
identification and classification; risk probability
and impact; qualitative risk analysis techniques;
quantitative risk analysis techniques; risk
treatment methods; decision making; risk
perception; risk communication; and risk
analysis software introduction. Case studies are
used to examine and develop understanding of
risk management system and its implementation.
18

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT
AND BUSINESS POLICY
Strategic Management examines the decisions,
actions and processes undertaken by
organisations for success, growth and change.
Managers at all levels need to be involved
in the strategic planning process. This unit
of study will explore the principal elements
of strategic planning and management and
critically review the major models used in
strategic analysis. Students will evaluate
designated strategic management tools in
order to recommend appropriate strategic
responses to organisational issues. High level
analytical and planning skills will be required
to prepare relevant business, operational and
strategic plans.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
This unit addresses the ways in which
information technology (IT) can facilitate the
project management process in relation to
feasibility and sensitivity analysis, planning
and monitoring, information processing and
decision support functions. It focuses on
the application of software packages in the
areas of both general project management
information systems and specialised project
management information systems. The subject
content includes computerised procurement
considerations, identification of available
computer hardware and software and analysis
of current IT trends. Problem solving in relation
to change and risk management and issues of
quality control are also addressed. Learning
scenarios which highlight the emergent and
dynamic nature of IT and project management
will be used to contextualise course content.
ART AND PRACTICE
OF LEADERSHIP
The unit examines the contextual challenges
facing leaders, seeking to develop a deep
personal understanding of leadership
as a complex process of scanning the
environment, setting the strategic direction,
and achieving organisational goals
through influencing people both inside and
outside the organisation. The dynamics of
interpersonal power are investigated, with
particular attention given to the leader as
a social architect, implicit in the concepts
of transformational and values-based
authentic leadership.
19

CAPSTONE RESEARCH
PROJECT
In this unit, students carry out a work-related
research project under the guidance and
supervision of an appropriate academic staff.
Students will explore complex problems, analyse
results, and interpret evidence with regard to
different bodies of knowledge and practice and
advocate recommendations. The unit also requires
students to communicate these propositions to
specialist and non-specialist audiences both orally
and in writing in a scholarly manner as a professional,
balancing individual and public good.
Research and Work Integrated Learning

management can be shaped by the work
of other organisations in the public and
private sector that deal with similar issues
and clientele. This unit enhances student
learning through a workplace experience
with an external partner organisation, an
interstate court or tribunal or, in some cases,
a negotiated international exchange. It will
encourage reflexive learning supported by
research skills training.
Further units can be offered
subject to demand, including:
• Work and Organisation Systems
• Organisation Change Management
• Managing Innovation and Entrepreneurship

The Honourable Michael Kirby AC CMG
Former High Court Judge and human rights advocate
“Victoria University and its law school tends to be
innovative. I think the new Courts and Tribunals
Academy is very exciting and I congratulate the
Sir Zelman Cowen Centre for taking this initiative.
Courts and tribunals are means of bringing justice
- in the case of tribunals especially - to people who
don’t have a lot of money and rely upon skilled
decision-making and talented, independent and
uncorrupted court and tribunal staff. An Academy
dedicated to supporting and professionalising court
and tribunal staff is a move that will have broad
positive ramifications for the justice system as whole.
It will be very interesting to see the new course
unfold and give new forms of instruction to the
large numbers of our fellow citizens who work in the
independent courts and tribunals in Australia.”
Messages of Support
22

Mr John Meeks
Vice President, Institute for Court Management,
National Center for State Courts (USA)
“We at the National Center for State
Courts look forward to establishing
a working relationship with the
Courts and Tribunals Academy and
conducting transpacific projects for
the benefit of Australian and US court
leaders and personnel, including
exchange opportunities and research
collaborations.”
The Honourable Duncan Kerr Chev LH
President of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal
“I am delighted that the Courts and
Tribunals Academy intends to offer a
Graduate Diploma. The administration
of courts and tribunals requires high
levels of professional competence in
quite specialised areas. An award course
coordinated through a university would
complement and extend the learning
available to tribunal staff. It is likely to
have great appeal to our existing and
intending staff and, I dare say, to their
colleagues in other jurisdictions.”
Dr Ingo Keilitz
President, Court Metrics
”The Academy promises to provide the
courts, tribunals and justice institutions
across Australia with educational services,
technical support, and research as they
reshape their leadership, management
practice and governance at a time of
heightened public expectations for justice
services and demands for public sector
transparency and accountability. With so
many talented and dedicated individuals
positioned to ensure that it succeeds, I
know that great success will surely come
its way.”
The Honourable Marilyn Warren AC
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Victoria
“At this historic time when Victorian courts
have been able to secure self-management
of their affairs with the establishment of
Court Services Victoria, court governance
and management is of particular interest.
This is a very timely and important initiative
and I will watch the development of the
Courts and Tribunals Academy with
particular interest.”
