Bachelor of Laws (Graduate Entry)

The Bachelor of Laws program (Graduate Entry) enables those who hold a degree level qualification (other than law) to complete a law degree.

The program provides you with the academic foundation for admission to legal practice.

In that context, the course provides you with knowledge of the law, legal processes and legal principles and cultivates a capacity for legal research, analysis and communication.

There is a focus on the analysis, interpretation, evaluation and application of various sources of legal authority to construct solutions to legal problems.

The course also deals with theoretical perspectives on the law and encourages an appreciation of transnational law and of legal issues of special significance to the Northern Territory, including Aboriginal legal issues.
