Bachelor of Laws (Honours)

When you study law at Griffith, you'll join a law school who is dedicated to social justice and learn from award-winning teachers and researchers who are challenging the status quo and creating new legal knowledge, models, and processes. Griffith is also proud to be the highest-ranked Australian University for law in the 2019 Academic Ranking of World Universities. 

You'll learn through hands-on experiences from year one. You'll make connections between law and ethics, legal theory, Indigenous issues, and internationalization. You'll also develop understandings of law and legal work through courses that cover areas such as crime, contracts, property, and corporate law, torts, and law theories. 

Industry and expert connections 
You'll have the opportunity to choose electives based on your interests, plus you may undertake clinical courses that emphasize practical legal skills, insights, and experience. These range in subjects from social justice and refugee law to community lawyering and advanced family law. 

Graduate outcomes 
If you want to become a registered solicitor or barrister, the Bachelor of Laws (Honours) will set you on the right path. Your degree could also pave the way for work as a lawyer in a law firm, a policymaker or law reformer working in the government or community sector, or even as a human rights defender. You'll open up a world of non-legal careers too, including careers in journalism, politics or management.
