Handbook

Effective participation in a range of business, political, social, environmental and cultural contexts requires an understanding of legal concepts, processes and institutions. In LAW 101 Introduction to Law, students will gain an understanding of the nature and sources of law, the institutions and processes that underpin the Australian legal system, and the practical skills required to find, use and understand the law. Students also gain foundational knowledge in areas of private law including contract, tort and consumer law, as well as an introduction to criminal law concepts. Upon completion of this subject, students are expected to gain both the knowledge and skills base necessary to pursue further legal studies.
