| 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. Increasingly, law is seen as one of the most valuable generalist degrees, providing a solid foundation for a range of careers. As a result law graduates enjoy a higher rate of employment than graduates from almost every other discipline.
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.
Some of the faculty’s students are also making a name for themselves, including Hugh Evans, the 2004 Young Australian of the Year, and Clare O’Neil, the mayor of Victoria’s Greater Dandenong region – at 23, the youngest ever female mayor in Australia.
