Public Law Specialisation

Studying Public Law will involve you in examining both the process and product of government regulation and the underlying legal structures upon which government is built.

This specialisation combines comparative and multi-disciplinary perspectives in examining the design, implementation and effectiveness of regulation in Australia. This enables you to develop a strong understanding of the modern regulatory state and the laws that govern its operation.

This specialisation is highly flexible, allowing you to choose courses that are compatible with your current profession or that extend your knowledge in new directions. Whether you are working in private practice, within government or are looking to expand your legal knowledge for a future career – this program offers diversity, flexibility and knowledge suitable for a wide range of students.
