Lawyers help people who need legal advice, supporting and working with individuals, businesses, firms, corporations, or not-for-profit organisations to solve complex legal problems. This program is designed to produce law graduates with a practical focus, covering academic courses required for admission as a legal practitioner in Australia. Whether your interest is the global, international or national legal system, you will choose from a range of courses to prepare you for a career in the law.

In this program you will:

• Engage in active learning experiences and gain practical skills right from your first year. For example, you’ll observe volunteer lawyers conducting client interviews at an Advice Clinic operated by Suncoast Community Legal Service.
• Research answers to legal problems, prepare advice, present legal argument, observe court proceedings, and take part in simulated court presentations in our Moot Court venue.
• Have the opportunity to further develop your skills by working with Legal Service clients under legal supervision in the elective Law Professional Practice or undertake a legal internship in a law workplace such as a law firm, court or legal aid service.
