Seeking justice with the United Nations
A passion for human rights inspired a UniSA law graduate to travel
abroad and support international communities in need.
During his studies, Lachlan Merrigan (pictured) received a UniSA
scholarship to intern with the United Nations Assistance to the Khmer
Rouge Trials (UNAKRT) at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of
Cambodia (ECCC). These courts were established to bring senior leaders
from Democratic Kampuchea to trial, who are alleged to have committed
Crimes Against Humanity in the 1970s.
Lachlan supported senior lawyers and international experts in the Office
of Co-Prosecution to prepare for one of the trials.
“I worked with a team from around the world to analyse facts, conduct
legal research and write a submission for the Office’s trial brief.
“I really enjoyed the opportunity to develop a global perspective of
the legal profession and interpret the law differently – the experience
encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone.”
REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE
Practical learning is important, so we incorporate hands-on experience into
your degree. Be involved in advocacy training in our on-campus moot court,
or provide advice through our student-run Legal Advice Clinic under the
supervision of a managing solicitor. Our teachers are also researchers, who
partner with more than 200 organisations worldwide to create solutions that
shape business, industry and policy. We contribute to new knowledge and
global understanding, and then share these insights with you.
GRADUATE WITH AN EDGE
Graduate with a top-ranking law degree and honours with a difference. Choose from
a range of specialist electives to expand your knowledge in an area of interest, then
round out your degree with advanced research or real-world learning.
In final year, you can choose from:
• A placement at a law firm, public organisation, industry partner, or our
student-run Legal Advice Clinic;
• A law reform course, where you will become involved with contemporary legal
issues that influence policy and change; or
• A research pathway, where you can investigate a topic of your choice.
DOUBLE YOUR KNOWLEDGE
Broaden your expertise and increase your career opportunities by studying
a double degree combining law with a second discipline. Specialise in two
fields and graduate with two degrees in only one extra year of study. You
can pair your law degree with areas such as business, accounting, arts,
journalism and professional writing, and psychology; or consider your very
own combination. Apply on entry, or combine your qualifications during
your studies.
3
BUILD YOUR NETWORKS
We have more than 60 partners for
semester exchanges, study tours and
internships across Asia, Europe and the
Americas. Gain practical experience by
working on current business challenges
and develop the professional skills
needed for a global career. During your
degree, you will also have opportunities
to develop your networks, meet industry
experts and immediately apply your
learnings to real-world environments.
You can complete an internship, be
mentored by a legal professional or
engage in an industry project.
FUTURE-PROOF
YOUR CAREER
Being career-ready is about developing
transferable skills that you can take
with you across your professional life.
That’s why we have created a suite of
Enterprise Skills, which are integrated
into your degree. You will explore
essential skills in self-management,
problem solving, teamwork, ethical
awareness, communication and
international perspectives. You will
also be able to upskill throughout your
studies with online resources that can
be accessed anywhere, anytime.
DISCOVER MORE WAYS
TO STUDY
Our flexible study options are designed
to suit your lifestyle, preferred way of
learning and career interests. You can
benefit from full-time or part-time
learning, two study intakes, Summer
and Winter School intensives, mentoring
and networking opportunities, as well as
accelerated learning pathways. You can
also join our active student community
with the UniSA Law Students Association
(USALSA) – an independent body that
provides educational and vocational
support, and hosts a variety of social and
networking events.

opportunities by studying a second language. Learn French, Italian, Japanese
or English (for speakers of English as a second language) through a Diploma

connect with native speakers from around the world in real-time. Graduate
with an additional qualification by studying the diploma alongside your
