LAW DUAL DEGREE PROGRAMS At UNSW, you’ll study Law as a dual degree program. A Law dual degree program allows you to study both law and non-law courses. You’ll gain a Law degree and another degree, such as an International Studies or Science degree. The UNSW Law dual degree program will provide you with a broader education to increase your understanding of the wider social implications of law. You will be encouraged to think laterally and equipped to seek out non-legal solutions to issues even if they may be presented in legal terms.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW For most Law dual degree programs, you’ll study both law and non-law courses for the first four years, and concentrate solely on law for the remainder of your studies.

HOW WE TEACH Our teaching style has always been distinctive and an integral characteristic of UNSW Law. From the beginning, the focus has been not only on what is taught, but how it is taught. UNSW Law students are fortunate to learn from a wide range of teachers, including academic lawyers, practitioners and clinical and policy specialists with diverse experience, both here and abroad. Some of them have even written the textbooks students use.

I found first year law at UNSW has challenged me academically and allowed me to think about the world from a different perspective. The lecturers have encouraged discussion and broader thinking about the justice system and the way it impacts upon society.” Audrey Marsh 1st Year Arts/Law

Professor Prue Vines Director, First Year Studies At UNSW Law we are interested in our students and their progress, and we are committed to helping you learn, rather than simply feeding you information.

When I came to visit UNSW it felt vibrant and accepting. This was reinforced by the small class sizes in Law which help to stimulate learning and meeting new people.” George Pasas 1st Year Commerce/Law

Law Undergraduate Guide 2015

This Law School pioneered interactive teaching in small classes, and we continue to be committed to this. Introductory classes are in groups of less than 30, while most later classes are in groups of around 40. Throughout, we are committed to interactive teaching and learning. All our classes are seminars, which means that you read material before you come to class and then you discuss it with your teacher and classmates. We know from experience that this the best way to learn law – it helps you to develop your ideas, to maintain a critical and analytical perspective, and it also ensures that you get to know the people you are studying with.

Some students may find this difficult, so we give them space to develop these skills more slowly, and we have a peer tutor scheme in which you can work with a senior student to develop your understanding and skills in law in a way which is comfortable for you. Another characteristic of the way we teach law is that we teach not only the law and how it works but also its impact on people and how it relates to justice. This makes law a fascinating and compelling area of study – not the bare study of doctrine, but the study of law in action in all its complexity. This is a challenge that we hope you will find as exhilarating as we do!”

Because this participation is so important to your learning, we actually assess it. In first year your class participation mark is based on your level of engagement and involvement in the class rather than your mastery of content. In your first course, Introducing Law and Justice we understand that you don’t know the material yet, but we also know that if you actively discuss the issues, your ability to learn, analyse and argue will become unbeatable.

I am the Executive Director and principal solicitor of the Arts Law Centre of Australia. I am responsible for the overall planning and management of the organisation and I also oversee the Indigenous service, Artists in the Black (AITB). A significant part of my work is dedicated to ensuring AITB delivers effective legal services to Indigenous artists and their communities nationally. Another important aspect of my role is finding and maintaining funding and income streams so that Arts Law can meet the demand for quality legal services and resources for Australia’s artists.

HOW I GOT HERE I started as the Associate to the Chief Justice of the Northern Territory. This opened my eyes to the position of many Aboriginal people in Australia which led to my working for the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody (for 3 years). I’ve also worked in the Public Interest Unit of the Aboriginal Legal Service of WA and the Mental Health Law Centre of WA. Being married to a practising artist led me to apply for the Executive Director’s job at the Arts Law Centre of Australia.

A TYPICAL DAY My days can be quite varied because Arts Law is a relatively small organisation and my role requires me to be involved not only in the strategic work of the organisation but also in the day to day operations and delivery of the service. The strategic work involves developing the strategic plan, overseeing the development of the budget and ensuring a sound policy frame work is in place. My daily activities include monitoring the organisation’s finances, applying for funding, education delivery, preparation of advocacy submissions and, overseeing the legal service and working with the board to assist its effectiveness and ensuring that it fulfils its governance obligations. Or I could be visiting a remote Indigenous community, sitting in an art centre and then talking on local radio about the work of Arts Law and our AITB service. One thing I can guarantee is that it is never dull.

WHAT I LIKE MOST I really enjoy that I work for a fantastic organisation that assists Australia’s artists in a very practical way in ensuring they are fairly rewarded for their creative work and understand their legal rights.

Associate International Commercial Group Bird & Bird LLP

MY ROLE I am an associate in the International Commercial Group in the London office of Bird & Bird LLP, one of the world’s leading telecommunications and technology law firms. I advise clients in the telecommunications, media and technology (TMT) sectors on commercial and regulatory issues including complex commercial contracts, the regulation of new technologies and services, competition law and privacy.

Joshua Gray

426000 (CSP)

I started my career in the competition and regulation group of Gilbert +Tobin in Sydney where much of my work related to the telecommunications sector so it was a natural extension to also focus on commercial aspects of the TMT sector as a whole. After working in Australia for over six years I was keen to get international experience and do some more travel. Transitioning to London was fairly easy - Australian education and law firms are well regarded in the market.

A TYPICAL DAY While no day is typical, I am presently advising on a range of issues relating to the auction and trading of radio spectrum licenses, negotiating an international agreement to develop a mobile payments platform in an African country, assisting an international investment bank with its global technology procurement requirements, and writing an article on developments in the TMT sector in the Middle East.

WHAT I LIKE MOST The intersection of law, technology and policy. To be a good TMT lawyer you need to have a broad skill set: the finer points of contract law can be just as important as understanding how the Internet works or the economic principals behind regulation of the sector. Technology is always changing and has a profound effect on society which keeps things interesting.

426000 (CSP)

I work largely on business projects that typically involve financial, business and related aims. From these aims I identify ways in which the business can reduce costs, identify competitive advantages and advise on strategies to align business practices and due diligence on new projects.

HOW I GOT HERE I have a background in transaction banking, law and finance work within a large corporation. I’ve always enjoyed data analysis and identifying creative outcomes within my work and wanted to combine these areas. A few years ago I began working for myself in a business advisory capacity so that I could incorporate an element of pro bono work to my paid work.

A TYPICAL DAY A typical day for me may involve a number of meetings with senior management and various other departments of a corporation. I will also spend time researching, modelling strategies and report preparation.

WHAT I LIKE MOST I enjoy the challenge and the diversity in the work that I do. This is enabled by the fact I work for myself and am able to select the projects that I want to work on.

HOURS PER WEEK This will depend entirely on deadlines and any board meetings that I am required to attend.

TRANSFER UNSW INTERNAL PROGRAM TRANSFER

WILL IT TAKE LONGER FOR ME TO COMPLETE A LAW DUAL DEGREE?

UNSW Internal Program Transfer (IPT) is an alternative entry pathway into a Law dual degree if you are already studying at UNSW. Students are assessed on their UNSW studies.

This will depend on your initial degree and how much of that degree you have completed. For example, if you transfer to a Law dual degree after your first year at UNSW, you can still complete your degree in the same time as if you commenced law study in Year 1 (if you receive full credit for your Year 1 studies). If full credit is not received, you may have to enrol for one additional semester, or apply to enrol in electives in the summer semester of your final year. If you transfer later in your studies, it might take you longer to complete your Law dual degree. The exact duration will be determined by the amount of credit awarded.

For a variety of reasons, you may want to transfer to a Law dual degree part way through your studies. Your career goals might have changed, you might be seeking more of a challenge in your studies, or your ATAR might have been below the cutoff for Law. Applications are via UNSW.

TRANSFER FROM ANOTHER UNIVERSITY Students enrolled in a degree at another university who have completed a minimum of one year of full time tertiary study can apply via UAC to transfer to a Law dual degree program. Students are assessed on both their secondary rank (ATAR or equivalent) and tertiary rank (university studies). Applications are via UAC. Further details regarding credit for law courses are available on the Law website at law.unsw.edu.au

The UNSW JD is recognised as a graduate level law degree and can be used as a basis for seeking admission to the legal profession in Australia and overseas. The UNSW JD allows students to study law at a postgraduate level which reflects their maturity and proven proficiency with tertiary study.

After the first week, we were already in court, observing cases from civil matters to criminal trials as part of the Introducing Law and Justice course. Tanja Bresolin 1st Year JD Student

Students study 16 compulsory courses and 1 prescribed elective (from a choice of 3) which provide a comprehensive understanding of the legal system and knowledge of the many areas of law that are fundamental to legal practice. They then choose 7 elective courses from a wide range on offer each semester. These electives include the opportunity for high-level experience of legal practice in the form of internships, clinical practice at our own Kingsford Legal Centre, national and international mooting competitions, short courses overseas studying the legal systems of specific countries, and our international exchange program which allows students to go on exchange to one of our 65 partner Law Schools around the world.

FLEXIBILITY A key feature of the UNSW JD is the program’s flexibility. Students can study at a pace which suits their personal circumstances and learning style. The standard three year program can be studied over a longer period of time and students can start their studies in semester one or semester two.

PATHWAY FROM UNSW JD TO OXFORD BCL OR MLF UNSW Law and Oxford University Faculty of Law have signed a memorandum of understanding to give UNSW JD students the opportunity to graduate with two internationally recognised qualifications in just three and a half years. Students will spend 2.5 years at UNSW and 1 year at Oxford. Oxford University’s highly regarded Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL) and Masters in Law and Finance (MLF) will be open to applications from UNSW JD students in their fourth semester of study at UNSW. Successful applicants will complete their fifth semester at UNSW and then undertake a full academic year at Oxford. On completion, students will be entitled to receive a Juris Doctor (JD) from UNSW and a Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL) or Masters in Law and Finance (MLF) from Oxford University. The UNSW JD comprises a mix of Commonwealth Supported Places and full-fee places, with students selected on the basis of academic results in previous tertiary study.

Human Rights Law in Practice is a course true to its name. We were taught by a number of leading human rights lawyers who are experts in their field. The practical insights and experience they brought to the program was invaluable.”

Vy Vy Hunyh 5th Year Commerce/Law

New York, USA Taught in conjunction with Columbia Law School’s Human Rights Institute, this course, Human Rights Law in Practice, examines the operation of human rights law in practice in international, regional and domestic US and Australian contexts. Based in New York, the course draws together leading US and international human rights lawyers to provide cutting-edge case studies from US courts, regional human rights commissions and the UN system. It also provides students with doctrinal foundations in international human rights law and its incorporation into domestic law, as well an introduction to the US Bill of Rights and civil rights law. The program will include field visits to the United Nations and other major New York landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and the Ellis Island Immigration Museum.

Languages at UNSW Studying a language increases the global relevance of your university studies.

Travel to China to study the Chinese Legal System in Shanghai. This two week course provides an introduction to the legal system of the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Republic of China with particular reference to modern developments in contract and commercial law. In addition to the fascinating study of a legal system that has changed markedly in the last thirty years, students see this legal system in practice with field trips to a Chinese law firm and Chinese court. The itinerary also includes opportunities to experience local culture and attractions.

Students travel to the University of the South Pacific Law School, located in Port Vila, Vanuatu to study Pacific Islands Legal Systems. This course will provide an introduction to legal systems of the South Pacific region, and to some specific areas of Pacific law. Most Pacific Island states have gained independence only in recent years, and thus their laws and legal systems are still works in progress. This course will introduce many of the issues arising in these developing legal systems, including issues of history and politics, constitutional development, recognition and application of customary law, land tenure regimes, and regional engagement between states, and with outside bodies. The course includes field trips to relevant sites.

New York is the international hub of human rights issues, so I was very keen to have an opportunity not only to learn more about what a human rights career would be like in the US, but also to meet with and learn from experts in the field on various human rights issues.â&#x20AC;?

Having performed in Law Revue over the past two years, I loved every single moment of it. My fellow society members are amongst my closest friends, partially because they helped me leap out of my comfort zone during the production. I had the privilege to step up professionally and co-produce the show this year. Law Revue has been an integral part of my law student life, empowering me to strive for things that previously seemed beyond my reach”

The Peer Mentor Program helps first year Law students adjust to university life. The mentoring program aims to encourage inter-year student involvement, allowing new students to feel at ease with their transition from high school, workplace or another field of study into Law School.

“Peer mentoring is great because you have an older and more experienced law student guiding you through. It’s been very beneficial, providing a revision of content covered in class in a relaxed and informal setting”

Angelina Yurlova 1st Year, Arts/Law

“The peer mentoring program has been excellent in supporting me with my transition into law school since the mentors are able to relate to the challenges of first year law”.

David Lu 1st Year, Commerce/Law

COMPETITIONS From your first year onwards you will have the opportunity to hone your professional skills through a variety of competitions such as mooting, trial advocacy, client interviewing and negotiation. The skills competitions further develop your legal understanding and equip you with strong analytical, teamwork and communication skills. Beginner to advanced competitions are offered and you can also compete internationally as an elective in later years of your degree.

MOOTING Mooting is the law school equivalent to mock trials. Competitors, working in pairs, are provided with a fact scenario and are required to research the relevant area of law to develop legal arguments for their hypothetical client. After completing written submissions competitors present their arguments in a court-like situation before a â&#x20AC;&#x153;judgeâ&#x20AC;?. Mooting provides competitors with the fantastic opportunity to experience what life will be like as a legal practitioner representing a client in an adversarial proceedings context. Participation in mooting competitions can provide amazing opportunities, from meeting and working with colleagues through participating in local and national events, to international competitions in places such as The Hague and Washington.

I have participated in mooting from day one of my law school experience. Participating in the internal competitions has provided me with fantastic opportunities to apply what I have been taught and to learn new areas of law in a practical setting where you can make mistakes (although you try to avoid them). I have had a lot of fun, met people and the experience has been rewarding. Recently I have been selected to be on the UNSW Jessup team. This is providing me with the opportunity of participating in one of the largest international mooting competitions. This will involve competing in Canberra against other Australian law schools and appearing in front of a High Court judge. After the national rounds, the competition moves to Washington, USA to finally compete in front of three judges of the International Court of Justice.â&#x20AC;?

I have been involved in the client interviewing, negotiation and mooting competitions. After winning the UNSW Law Society Client Interviewing Competition, I was selected to attend the Australian Law Students’ Association (ALSA) Conference in Perth to compete in a national client interviewing competition, where I was a semi-finalist.

Competing in negotiation competitions has been the highlight of my law studies to date. I have competed in the finals of the Allens Advanced Negotiation Competitions for the last two years and recently competed for UNSW at the Sir Laurence Street Negotiation in Perth.”

I organised the 2013 Client Interviewing Competition, and I am the Vice President (Skills) on the Law Society Cabinet for 2014. My experiences have taught me that “lawyering” isn’t something that can just be learnt from textbooks, but from practising your skills in an open and constructive environment”.

SKILLS The UNSW Law Society organises client interviewing, trial advocacy and skills competitions. These are available to all law students, irrespective of the stage of their degree.

Client Interviewing The Client Interviewing Competition involves a team of two competitors interviewing a client in order to ascertain the client’s needs and to explain the client’s basic situation. There are beginners and intermediate client interviewing competitions.

Trial Advocacy In Trial Advocacy competitions, competitors are involved in a simulated criminal trial – which includes all the major components of a real trial, from the opening address through to cross-examination of witnesses and the closing address!

For me, being a UNSW Scientia Scholar has pushed me to my academic limits. The requirement of an 80 WAM is definitely a drive to ensure that I am getting top marks – which will of course benefit me in the future. The scholarship has also allowed me to focus on studying, while still leaving time for my social life since I don’t need to work long hours to finance my activities. However, having my Scientia mentor has really been the highlight – his guidance has been invaluable in helping me to find opportunities at university and gain insight into the life of lawyers in practice.”

The small classes at UNSW were based on the Socratic method, an interactive style of teaching which had been made famous in the Harvard Law School. They regarded it as a superior way of teaching and that’s what attracted me...For me it was a profound decision. I learned how to learn, how to learn a lot in a short time and how to change course.”

Stuart Fuller Global Managing Partner, King & Wood Mallesons

The teaching method and teachers at UNSW Law School encouraged not only active participation, but also active listening – a critical skill in business life.”

The Honourable Justice Elizabeth Fullerton Supreme Court of New South Wales

I have fond memories of being exposed to lecturers who were both legally experienced and great individual thinkers. The course was very proactive in preparing us for careers in the law but not only in law firms.”

Law Undergraduate Guide 2015

BECOMING A LEGAL PRACTITIONER In order to be admitted as a legal practitioner (for example in New South Wales) you must: • meet certain academic requirements • complete a practical skills program • obtain practical experience from employment approved by the Legal Profession Admission Board of the NSW Attorney-General’s Department. UNSW’s Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree satisfies the academic requirements for admission to practise as a solicitor or barrister and all our undergraduate programs lead to the award of the LLB degree. The practical skills program can be undertaken straight after graduation, by distance education via the internet or while employed in a law firm. For more information about qualifying as a legal practitioner in New South Wales, contact the Legal Profession Admissions Board: lawlink.nsw.gov.au/lpab

Tertiary Qualification (2.5 - 8 yrs) • LLB – undergraduate Law dual degree (5 years). or • JD (Juris Doctor) postgraduate

Qualifying as a barrister or solicitor To practise as a solicitor or barrister, you will need the appropriate practising certificate. These have specific conditions and are granted respectively by the NSW Law Society (lawsociety.com.au) and the NSW Bar Association (nswbar.asn.au). Generally, students are advised to qualify as a solicitor and practise for a time before going to the Bar.

Admission to Legal Practice

Lawyers? Solicitors? Barristers? - What’s the difference?

Practising Certificate - Solicitor (2 yrs)

Lawyer is the generic term for solicitors and barristers. Solicitors are lawyers who provide legal advice, draft documents, conduct negotiations and appear in court and tribunal proceedings on behalf of clients. Many solicitors act as general practitioners of law but more and more are specialising in particular areas of law. The majority of solicitors practice in law firms; others are employed by companies or by government organisations. Barristers are advocates who specialise in advising on difficult questions of law and who appear before civil, criminal and industrial courts and other tribunals on behalf of clients. Barristers may specialise in particular areas of law such as criminal law, personal injury litigation, family law, taxation, corporate law, administrative law and constitutional law. Clients usually consult a solicitor who then briefs a barrister about the case. Although self-employed, barristers usually practise in chambers with other barristers.
