Law & Justice student experience

Learn inside and outside the classroom.

Personalise

We offer rigorous programs of learning where you can gain high-level practical experience through exchange and international courses, internships, clinics and competitions, most of which are credited towards your degree.

�鶹��madou Law & Justice leads the way in innovative legal education. Our students don’t just learn about the law, they put their studies into action with Australia’s leading and largest range of experiential learning opportunities.

Every LLB and Juris Doctor (JD) student spends time at our on-site community legal centre, Kingsford Legal Centre (KLC).

Student clubs & organisations

Join your peers, make friends and connections, and have some fun while sharing knowledge and debates about your chosen field. Our clubs and organisations hold regular events to enrich your time here.

Exchange

Overseas electives

If you’re keen to add international experience and legal knowledge to your study program, �鶹��madou Law & Justice offers two-to-three-week overseas electives.

Internships

Internships give you the chance to ‘trial’ careers, offering training, practical legal experience and a real insight into future career paths.

Clinics

Clinical legal education provides the opportunity to transform what you’ve learnt in the classroom into real-life practice under the guidance of experienced practitioners.

Competitions

�鶹��madou Law & Justice students can hone professional skills through a variety of competitions such as mooting, trial advocacy, client interviewing and negotiation.

�鶹��madou Law & Justice careers

�鶹��madou Law & Justice careers was established to help our students best position themselves to secure a rewarding job at the end of their study.

This program connects final year students at �鶹��madou with alumni mentors who are established industry professionals. Successful students will be matched with mentors based on criteria such as area of study, sector experience and shared interests.

The �鶹��madou Law Journal is one of Australia’s leading academic legal journals, and one of the few to be produced entirely by a voluntary student board.

“Undertaking an internship empowers our law and criminology students to evolve from learners into emerging professionals—bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world practice, while building the judgment, confidence, and insight that enhance their employability.”
