Description

The international and comparative law specialisation provides students with an advanced legal knowledge across a broad spectrum of legal issues with international significance. These range across broad issues of public international law, international human rights and humanitarian law, international criminal law and justice, international commercial and comparative law and international trade and finance law. This specialisation suits lawyers whose practice exposes them to any aspect of international or comparative law, whether this be in the commercial, criminal or human rights law areas. It also suits lawyers and non-lawyers who work in, or have an interest in working in non-government organisations (NGOs), government and industry (domestically or internationally), who are interested in the impact of the international legal framework of their work.

The specialisation carries a broad offering of units taught by Monash Law staff with international reputations in their areas, carefully chosen practitioners with considerable expertise and visiting international experts. In this way the international and comparative law specialisation is carefully constructed to provide an outstanding exposure to the theory and practice of international and comparative law.
