Program Description
When students study law at Griffith, they will join a law school that is dedicated to social justice and learn from award-winning teachers and researchers who are challenging the status quo and creating new legal knowledge, models and processes. Griffith is also proud to be the highest ranked Australian University for law in the 2019 Academic Ranking of World Universities.
Students will learn through hands-on experiences from year one. They will make connections between law and ethics, legal theory, Indigenous issues, and internationalisation. They will also develop understandings of law and legal work through courses that cover areas such as crime, contracts, property and corporate law, torts and law theories.
Students will have the opportunity to choose electives based on their interests, plus they may undertake clinical courses that emphasise practical legal skills, insights and experience. These range in subjects from social justice and refugee law to community lawyering and advanced family law.
