Jennifer was Monash University’s sole nomination for the Australian Award for University Teaching 2005. This nomination required her to prepare a 5000+ word statement addressing the criteria. To be short-listed by Monash was a feat, as Monash was permitted to nominate a maximum of three academics/groups.

Jennifer was promoted to senior lecturer as from 2005, and became the outer campus coordinator shortly thereafter, responsible for the Berwick, Gippsland, Malaysia and Peninsula and South Africa campuses.

Teaching

Jennifer lectures in the area of business/commercial law and corporations law at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Research

Her major areas of research include commercial law, contract law, business ethics and legal education. Before joining Monash in 1992 as an assistant lecturer, Jennifer practised law with a major city law firm.

Jennifer is co-author with Brendan Sweeney of Law in Commerce, published by Butterworths at the beginning of 2001.
