Other Information
The jurisdiction studied has no bearing on the state a student plans to be admitted into.
Indicative Assessment
Assessment is largely by way of performance of criminal practice advocacy, conducting an opposed bail application and a plea. Students are also required to undertake quizzes on elements of criminal law practice, to prepare a matter for trial and to conduct or observe and reflect on a contested hearing.
The ANU uses Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. While the use of Turnitin is not mandatory, the ANU highly recommends Turnitin is used by both teaching staff and students. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website.
