Law Courses overview

To work with the law is to aspire for a society that lives by rules that move humanity forward, that create fairness and justice for all. It is the job of lawyers to uphold the values and standards of our culture and society.

Lawyers work diligently around often complex rules to get the best possible outcome for their client. This could be in the form of a contract or through a trial in a court of law.

Is law for me?

Studying law can give you the qualifications for a career as a lawyer or a paralegal.

Those who work in law should have the ability to analyse and evaluate quickly and effectively. Do you have a critical mind that weighs up pros and cons on autopilot? Are you passionate about justice, and do you believe the law can bring about a better world? Then you could be an excellent lawyer.

Study pathway

Your study pathway will depend on whether you wish to work as a paralegal or a lawyer.

Those who wish to work as lawyers must complete a Bachelor of Law (LLB) undergraduate degree, which usually takes around four years to complete studying full-time.

Those who wish to work as a solicitor without an LLB can study a Juris Doctor (JD) degree. A JD is the postgraduate equivalent of the LLB. Graduates must be admitted to the state bar before they can legally work as lawyers.

Those who wish to work as a paralegal can complete degrees in legal practice that give them the skills they need to work in this field of the law. Usually paralegal courses take around two years to complete while studying full-time. People with bachelor of law degrees may also work as paralegals, albeit likely for a lesser salary than they would make as lawyers.

Both paralegals and lawyers have the option to study postgraduate courses and expand their knowledge. It’s possible to specialise in any branch of the law that interests you. Given that many areas of the law are very complex, it pays to cultivate expertise with postgraduate studies.

Employment options

Paralegal

Specialisations

This type of lawyer helps navigate the legalities and loopholes of tax law. Tax law is a notoriously complex (and correspondingly well-paid) field. Those employed as tax lawyers will almost always have an LLM in tax law (read more).
