Novel approaches to social justice issues, and to providing students with practical legal experience and a contextual understanding of law, help to diversify students' experience of Law School. Courses such as Indigenous Australians and the Law, Internet Technology Law, and the Innocence Project, make studying law at Griffith a rewarding and enriching experience.

* We teach on two campuses: Brisbane (Nathan) and Gold Coast.

* We take around 150 new students per year at Nathan and 100 at the Gold Coast.

* Our low staff-student ratios mean high individual contact with lecturers and tutors.

* Our teaching staff consistently win teaching awards and nationally competitive research grants.

* We take a critical, interdisciplinary approach to law teaching, with a distinct social justice orientation.

* We integrate the development of skills into every aspect of our curriculum development.

Student Satisfaction

The Griffith Law School regularly receives some of the highest approval ratings in Australia from its graduates for its teaching, generic skills and overall satisfaction. In a 1999 survey Griffith was ranked as having the best public law school in Queensland, Australia. In 2002 in an independent survey students ranked our Law School amongst the top five in Australia.

International Students

A large number of overseas students complete programs offered at Griffith University. International students can either do 3 years of Graduate Law, 5 years of a degree combined with another discipline or can spend 6 or 12 months as study abroad students. In all these cases you will have the chance to learn about a new culture and experience an enriching educational environment in one of the world'smost livable regions.
