Practice Area Basics 101 Programme

This programme was developed in partnership with the College of Law. The College of Law is a school of professional practice for lawyers in Australia and New Zealand. They are also the largest provider of practice-focused legal education in Australasia. Their mission is to enhance the careers of legal professionals across Australasia through the delivery of innovative, practice-focused legal education and training.

The aim of the Practice Area Basics 101 Programme is to ease the transition from study into legal practice through the basic understanding of the various practice areas. The intention is to provide students with a foundation and familiarity with the practice areas prior to joining the workforce.

This programme is targeted at Law students in Part II and above and would benefit students who are first in the family to study law and have not had any exposure to lawyers. Students who are committed and interested in learning more about the various practice areas are invited to participate.

Some practice areas covered include health, compliance, corporate, commercial, property, criminal, employment, public etc. Please note that the practice areas that will be showcased may vary year on year.

The Practice Area Basics 101 Programme runs during Semester 2.
 

• “Thank you so much for organising the fabulous event for us! I am really grateful to get this opportunity to attend the full sessions. As a first person in my family to study law, this event did give me a lot of inspiration in pursuing my law career. I do appreciate both of your work for us.”
