Course Aims
This is a skills-based course intended for students new to the study of law at a tertiary level or new to the study of law in a common law jurisdiction. The course aims to:
  • introduce students to the concept of law, the study of law and the role of legal skills in the law degree;
  • familiarise students with the way the law operates in a common law jurisdiction;
  • develop students’ ability to read and analyse common law cases;
  • develop students’ legal research skills;
