| The law should not be seen as narrow-minded, conservative and tedious, but as broad, critical and intellectually stimulating. As Dean of Law, I affirm our commitment to developing the highest quality graduates who hold a solid grounding in legal, social and ethical issues.
Monash Law is one of the largest and most prestigious law schools in Australia providing legal education and training to over 2700 undergraduate and postgraduate students. Monash Law is located at Monash's Clayton Campus and has postgraduate teaching facilities at the Monash University Law Chambers in Bourke St, Melbourne.
Along with our undergraduate and postgraduate courses, Monash offers a graduate entry law degree The Master of Laws (Juris Doctor) is taught at our city premises in trimester format, completely separate from the undergraduate degrees and drawing its electives from the wide range of graduate units offered in Masters programs.
We also encourage students to participate in international programs such as the Prato and Malaysia study abroad programs, international exchanges and internships and volunteer programs. In 2009, over 100 of our students will join with 70 students from five partner universities to study 16 international, comparative or European law subjects in Prato.
The quality of the law school is reflected in our alumni, many of whom hold prominent positions around the world both inside and outside of the legal profession. In Victoria alone, Monash law graduates hold some of the most senior judicial positions in this State including the Chief Justice of Victoria, the Chief Magistrate of Victoria, Chief Judge of the County Court, President of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, Chief Magistrate of the Victorian Children’s Court, as well as the Victorian Solicitor-General and State Coroner. The 2009 Australian of the year, Professor Mick Dodson is also a Monash law graduate.
