John Carmichael was appointed a senior lecturer in Law at Deakin University in 1998, having previously held a similar position at the University of South Australia (UniSa). In his former position John won a University wide Teaching Excellence Award for his teaching in Business Law, and particular commitment to the needs of off-campus students. He also inaugurated the teaching of UniSa’s business law subjects in Hong Kong and Singapore.

At his own request, John’s appointment at Deakin has been part-time. He wrote the Study Guide for Marketing Law, a new Study Guide for the foundational Business law unit and has been active in preparing other teaching and curriculum materials. In 2003 John served as the School of Law’s On Line Teaching and Learning Fellow. John’s pioneering role in the academic use of podcasts to deliver “Fireside Chats” has received prominent media coverage in the print, on -line and audio media. He has published in the areas of legal education and trade practices law and took part in the Faculty of Business and Law’s inaugural Roadshow to West Gippsland, as part of his interest in student recruitment and career pathways. After extensive teaching commitments in Competition Law since his appointment to Deakin, John in 2006 has assumed responsibility for teaching the School’s units in Sport and the law. John is also active in wider community service activities, particularly in the Anglican Church and in various support activities for the Sophia Mundi Inner-City Steiner School.
