While precise details regarding the requirements for the faculty's
undergraduate degrees are outlined in the regulations, students may find some
assistance in the following restatement of these requirements in a less formal
manner.
A full list of all the subjects available in the degrees is set out in
resolution 2 of the faculty resolutions. The normal procedure is for students
to select, in accordance with the regulations, the subjects they wish to study
in each year of their degree.
The registrar, assistant registrar and other officers of the faculty are
available to advise students on their choice of subjects at the time of
enrolment. This advice, however, will be most helpful if students have already
made themselves familiar with all the subjects and considered what their fields
of interest are likely to be. Similarly, when re-enrolling in later years of
the course, students should discuss their choice of subjects with the faculty
advisers.
It is the responsibility of students to ascertain from the regulations
governing their courses, the subjects (including the number of points) required
for their LLB degrees; the approval of students' enrolments by the faculty does
not relieve the students of this responsibility.
Course maps for each course appear at the end of this section.
There is a restriction on the number of students from other faculties who may enrol in the subject LAW1100 (Legal process). This quota is currently twenty places.
Students
who are not enrolled in a law degree course but who obtain a place in LAW1100
(Legal process) may complete, as a non-law student, a minor sequence in
subjects from the Faculty of Law, and in addition may complete further
specified law subjects to the value of twenty-four points at third-year level
provided such subjects are credited to and required for the non-law degree.
Students interested in this option should consult the registrar or assistant
registrar of the Faculty of Law.
Note that from 1998 new intake students enrolling in an arts double degree will
not be permitted to undertake studies in the BA component of the double degree
from outside the faculty. The practical implications of this new rule are that
a student enrolling in a BA would be allowed, if successful in gaining a quota
place, to undertake LAW1100 (Legal process) and further subjects from the
Faculty of Law up to a maximum value of forty-eight points as part of their
arts degree; however this would not be permitted for a student enrolling in an
arts double degree, eg BA/BBus, BA/BEc etc.
Students already enrolled in programs will, of course, be able to complete the
degree requirements under the rules that prevailed when they were first
admitted to the program.
(a) The
first digit of the subject number indicates the year in which the subject is
most commonly taken.
(b) For the purpose of calculating workload, the following compulsory
subjects carry twelve points.
(a) The
first digit of the subject number indicates the year in which the subject is
most commonly taken.
(b) The last two digits indicate the number of points attributed to the
subject.
The elective subjects available in the faculty are set out in resolution 2 of the faculty board. The availability of those subjects in 1999 will depend on the number of enrolments and the availability of teaching staff.
Students should consult section 22 and resolution 4 of the faculty regulations and resolutions respectively.
All compulsory subjects are taught over a full year and most elective subjects are taught over a half year. Whether a subject covers a full year or half year is indicated in the outline of the particular subject.
All subjects in the law course usually involve three hours of lectures per week. Tutorials of one hour each fortnight are provided in addition to lectures in some subjects.
