NOTE: This course has been taken in the past in Fremantle, Australia, and is, thus, listed here in the University records, but it is NOT recommended for study abroad students for the following two reasons: 1) It has no correspondence whatsoever to law in the US and will not introduce you to legal studies that have any resemblance to the study of law in the US. 2) It may actually have a negative effect on law school or grad school applications since your transcript will show you taking a 100 level course as a junior. Course description: This unit is designed to introduce students to the knowledge and the skills necessary to begin their Legal Studies major. On completion of the unit students will: 1) Have a basic understanding of the Australian Legal System in comparison with other major world legal systems. 2) Have an understanding of the institutional context within which the law works. 3) Be able to read and understand case law and statute law. 4) Have an ability to conduct legal research in both hard copy and electronic legal data bases.
