Course outline

When you study with the university ranked number one for law in Australia, you are preparing to tackle the unique challenges of our modern, high-tech, globalised society. You’ll gain progressive practical experience, support, international opportunities, networks and theory to shape your ideal legal career. You’ll develop in-depth knowledge of legal principles and practice, and learn essential legal skills such as negotiation, critical analysis of law, written and oral advocacy and legal writing. Extend the scope of your legal expertise by choosing from a range of electives across five areas: global law and governance, law and commerce, environment and social justice, theories and contexts of law, clinical and professional legal practice. You’ll have access to practical experience from your first year of study, through moots, court visits, and industry networking. You can also gain hands-on experience in a structured and supportive environment, working with real clients and cases through the Griffith Legal Clinic program.
