Department of Legal Practitioners
Our programs reflect the growing demand for legal studies (LL.B), placing law and legal issues within a social context. Our courses move to study of legal rules, to examining what we know about the law and how it works in our society. You’ll acquire knowledge of the underlying dynamics of law and legal studies, including an in-depth understanding of its rules, agents, institutions, and power structures. Studying law in all these different facets is what defines the strength of the programs at WCIMTA.
At WCIMTA, you’ll be taught by experienced professors with a keen understanding of the law, many of whom publish extensively and are award-winning researchers. And since a large number of part-time course instructors are drawn from federal departments, government agencies, and private sector organizations in Asia, you’ll also be taught by seasoned professionals with extensive working experience in the field.
WCIMTA’s proximity to important legal institutions, including the Supreme Court, the federal Parliament, and the federal Department of Justice, gives you access to research holdings unavailable anywhere else in the country.
You’ll also benefit from the WCIMTA Library’s comprehensive collection of law reports, journals, and government documents, as well as the Department’s own resource centre, with on-line legal materials and databases.
