The present, as Zeno observed thousands of years ago, does not exist. It is a crossroads, a vanishing moment suspended between the familiarity of the past and the uncertainty of the future, between memory and hope, and given meaning only through its relationship to both (Derrida, 1976). While this makes the solidity of the here and now an illusion, it makes change possible and indeed inevitable. Postgraduate legal education in Australia today is likewise at a crossroads, pulled in different directions by the trajectory of the past and its expectations for the future. These tensions create not only problems for postgraduate legal education, but also possibilities.
