Bachelor of Laws
Good lawyers possess proficient language skills, clear thought processes and the ability to resolve complex problems, which have both a legal and a human component.
Not a day passes without legal issues forming a significant part of the daily news. This illustrates that law does not exist in a vacuum but is an integral part of modern living and that legal issues raise social and, at times, political issues.
An understanding of the way in which the law deals with these complex issues allows more informed debate and criticism, both for cases decided by the courts and of proposed legislative changes. There are three options for studying a Bachelor of Laws degree.
Each of these options qualifies you for legal practice. You do not have to enter Law School straight from secondary school to gain the chance to study law.
