A Monash law degree offers a realistic way to make a difference in the world. This straight-from-school law course will enable you to join the next generation of high achieving lawyers, with the ability to solve complex, demanding and interesting problems. Whatever the field of law, international law, intellectual property, criminal law, human rights law, biotechnology law, tax or family law, lecturers at Monash will challenge you to develop career-ready skills in legal research, analysis and persuasive written and oral communication.

Freshly redesigned to accommodate the needs of the legal profession, the Monash law degree reflects contemporary innovations in legal education. You will learn the key concepts, principles, procedures and methodologies underpinning the Australian legal system, and acquire advanced knowledge of the sources of law, the principal areas of law, and broader but related perspectives including legal ethics and justice. The study of law will enhance your research, analytical and communication skills within legal and related contexts, enabling you to develop a broad range of professional capabilities.

Monash Law will offer you a wide range of options, including the choice of a double degree course. While a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) is a fine start to your career, you can enhance your career options and professional expertise by combining it with another degree from a range of other disciplines including arts, global studies, biomedical science, commerce, engineering, music or science. The combined degrees can be completed in two years less time than if they were undertaken separately.

In the elective component of the law degree you can choose from a large number of specialist law units, study overseas and undertake work-based learning. You will have the opportunity to study at the Monash Prato Centre in Italy, our campus in Malaysia and leading partner universities overseas, exposing you to brilliant minds around the world and enhancing your global perspectives. You can also gain practical work-based experience through the legal clinical programs at our community legal service centres, and through internships, enabling you to understand how theory comes alive in practice.

If you are admitted to legal practice you can work as independent barristers or as solicitors in small or large law firms. They can also provide legal advice within law reform agencies, government and non-government organisations and private corporations. A law degree is also an excellent preparation for diverse law-related careers within the judiciary, government, media, business, industry and politics. The bachelor's degree is a pathway to post-graduate study at the master's or doctoral level. Indeed, high achieving students have the opportunity to choose one or two master's units in their final year, creating an opportunity to complete a master's degree in less than one year after graduation.

The Bachelor of Laws (Honours) is recognised by the Victorian Legal Admissions Board (VLAB) as satisfying the academic requirements for admission to practice in Victoria as an Australian lawyer. But no law degree will enable you to practise law immediately. To do so, you must complete additional practical training as an articled law clerk, or as a candidate for a Diploma in Legal Practice. For further information refer to the Faculty of Law's Professional recognition of coursesProfessional recognition of courses (http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/undergrad/law-03.html) webpage.

If you have already successfully completed studies in a recognised undergraduate degree at an approved university, you may be eligible for credit for your prior learning in the Bachelor of Laws (Honours), reducing your study time from the normal 4.25 years full-time study. With credit, you may be able to enter the first year of law and be eligible for up to 36 points of credit. This means you may be able to complete the Bachelor of Laws (Honours) in three and a half years of full-time study (or part-time equivalent).

The maximum amount of credit allowable towards the Bachelor of Laws (Honours) single degree is 102 points.

The Law component of this degree is recognised by the Victorian Legal Admissions Board (VLAB). For further information refer to the Faculty of Law's professional recognition of coursesprofessional recognition of courses (http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/undergrad/law-03.html) webpage.

The course is designed to equip you with basic legal knowledge and skills that are required for admission to legal practice, with the advanced skills required for an honours degree and an opportunity to develop specialised knowledge in areas of law of your choice. The basic knowledge is imparted through three broad themes: legal methodology and legal practice, public law and private law. The specialised knowledge and advanced skills are imparted in later year elective units, including a final year project involving intensive research and writing.

Part A. Legal methodology and legal practice

This theme includes the nature of law, and particularly statute law enacted by parliaments and common law developed by courts. It also includes the key concepts, principles and methods of research and reasoning that enable lawyers to identify and interpret law and apply it to relevant facts in order to provide legal advice. It covers the law of procedure and evidence that governs judicial proceedings, alternative methods of resolving legal disputes and the code of ethics that regulates the professional conduct of legal practitioners.

Part B. Public law

Public law includes constitutional law, administrative law and criminal law. It concerns the powers and procedures of the legislative, executive and judicial organs of government and how they are regulated and controlled by 'the rule of law'. It also concerns the legal relationship between government and individuals, including the protection of individual rights.

Part C. Private law

Private law deals with legal relationships between legal persons, including corporations as well as individuals. It includes the study of property rights, contractual rights and obligations, wrongs (called 'torts') such as trespass and the negligent infliction of injury, and the law of equity and trusts.

Part D. Extending specialised knowledge and advanced skills: Law electives

In later years of the course, you will be able to choose from a broad range of elective law units. High achieving students may also include one or two master's units in their final year of study. Elective law units enable you to develop specialised knowledge and advanced skills in areas of law that suit your own interests, skills and career goals. In addition to public and private law, these include international law, commercial law and human rights law. You will have opportunities to study overseas, and to undertake work-based learning, for example, in our legal clinical program and in local and international internships.

Part E. Optional non-law study

This will enable you to further broaden and deepen your knowledge of law or broaden your knowledge in another approved field.

You must complete 204 points, comprising 102 points of core law units and 102 points of electives which may include up to 24 points of non-law units outside the Faculty of Law or the 48 points of non-law units required to be cross credited towards a double degree course.

Knowledge is developed through four broad themes: A. Legal methodology and legal practice, B. Public law, C. Private law and D. Extending specialised knowledge and advanced skills. Units are clustered to reflect the main theme but most units also address the first theme, legal practice to some extent.

The course is designed to equip you with basic legal knowledge and skills that are required for admission to legal practice, with the opportunity to develop specialised knowledge in areas of law of your choice. The basic knowledge is imparted through three broad themes: legal methodology and legal practice, public law and private law. The specialised knowledge and advanced skills are imparted in later year elective units.

Part A. Legal methodology and legal practice

This theme includes the nature of law, and particularly statute law enacted by parliaments and common law developed by courts. It also includes the key concepts, principles and methods of research and reasoning that enable lawyers to identify and interpret law and apply it to relevant facts in order to provide legal advice. It covers the law of procedure and evidence that governs judicial proceedings, alternative methods of resolving legal disputes, and the code of ethics that regulates the professional conduct of legal practitioners.

Part B. Public law

Public law includes constitutional law, administrative law and criminal law. It concerns the powers and procedures of the legislative, executive and judicial organs of government, and how they are regulated and controlled by 'the rule of law'. It also concerns the legal relationship between government and individuals, including the protection of individual rights.

Part C. Private law

Private law deals with legal relationships between legal persons, including corporations as well as individuals. It includes the study of property rights, contractual rights and obligations, wrongs (called 'torts') such as trespass and the negligent infliction of injury, and the law of equity and trusts.

Part D. Extending specialised knowledge and advanced skills

In these studies you will complete at least one commercial law unit and a professional project and will also add to your expertise by choosing from a broad range of elective law units. Elective law units enable you to develop specialised knowledge and advanced skills in areas of law that suit your own interests, skills and career goals.

The course comprises 144 points structured into four parts: Part A. Legal methodology and legal practice (24 points), Part B. Public law (30 points), Part C. Private law (42 points) and Part D. Extending expertise: Specialist law electives (48 points).
