Welcome to our inaugural UTS LSS Electives Guide!

UTS Law is a fantastic faculty that offers a diverse range of subjects to enable future-driven, practicalthinking students. In offering this variety, UTS students are better equipped to take on a multitude of legal careers in any area, ranging from the legal technology space to the social justice space.

As a penultimate student, I can appreciate that factors including workload, assessment type and mode of delivery are critical when informing which subjects I choose to undertake. I hope that this Guide which offers a breakdown of each of these factors in addition to student feedback, will enable you to make an informed decision when picking what subjects you will choose to study to develop your legal knowledge.

I would like to extend a special thank you to our amazing Education Portfolio for all of their hard work on this brand new Guide, including our VicePresident (Education), Anthony Ayoub, our Education (Publications) Directors, Alyssya Warty-Hasan and Georgia Neaverson, and our Education (Internal) Director, Peter Markopoulos.

I would also like to thank our Faculty and student contributors for all of their valuable insights and our wonderful Education (Publications) Subcommittee for their fantastic dedication and teamwork in pulling this together. Welcome to the inaugural UTS LSS Electives Guide!

This publication aims to bolster students’ understanding of the vast range of Elective subjects offered at UTS Law - filling a gap that the UTS LSS faced.

The Guide will feature a brief overview of each subject’s objective, what Session it is offered, and encompass student and staff testimonials. This is particularly important as it renders diverse insights into a one-stop shop for what can be a thoughtprovoking decision.

I want to extend an enormous thank you to our Education (Publications) Directors, Georgia Neaverson and Alyssya Warty-Hasan, and to our Education (Internal) Director, Peter Markopoulos. Each Director’s contribution and assistance has been flawless and unparalleled, spending countless hours in bringing what was originally an incomplete idea to fruition.

Special thanks also goes to our incredible Education (Publications) Subcommittee for their collaborative and supportive efforts. Further, to the UTS LSS President, Erika Serrano, for her ever-present counsel.

Finally, to our contributors who make this fantastic publication possible. The assistance of academic staff and students (listed on the Credit Page) allows the UTS LSS to showcase their fascinating and insightful perspectives as students transition throughout their degrees.

I hope you find great benefit from reading this publication. What are you waiting for? Sit back, relax and enjoy your reading!
