WELCOME
I’m very pleased to introduce the Juris Doctor
(JD) program at the Monash Law Faculty.
As a Monash JD Law student, you’ll have extraordinary and
unique opportunities.
You’ll be joining a world-class law school with a proud history and
a demonstrated commitment to provide the best experiential legal
education in Australia.
At the Monash Law Faculty, we educate lawyers for careers across
the globe and undertake research that makes a difference to Victoria,
Australia and the world at large.
Located in the heart of Melbourne’s legal precinct, our professional city
premises for JD and masters’ students are in close proximity to major
courts, law firms and barristers’ chambers.
You’ll have access to work-situated experiences where you’ll learn how
law operates in real life by working with clients of your own.
The Monash Law Clinical Guarantee provides you with the opportunity
to work in one of our community legal centres, mentored by experienced
legal practitioners. You’ll acquire first-hand legal knowledge and provide
an invaluable service to the community, all while earning credit towards
your degree.
We offer tremendous travel opportunities – study at our Prato campus
in Italy or in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, or undertake student exchanges
and visits to other leading partner universities overseas.
Along with these educational benefits, the Monash Law Faculty has one
of the largest voluntary student organisations in Australia. Our Law
Students’ Society (LSS) has approximately 2500 undergraduate and
JD members, and supports students in various ways by providing social
events, educational services, career development opportunities and
mentoring activities.
A Monash Law degree is recognised internationally, and our graduates
hold distinguished roles within and beyond the legal profession, both in
Australia and overseas.
We hope you’ll join the Monash Law Faculty and become part of a vibrant
law school.
Best wishes for your future studies.

DUAL DEGREE
MONASH FACULTY OF LAW/
WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF LAW
We offer a dual-degree program with Washington College of Law
(WCL) at American University, Washington, DC. The international
JD program provides an excellent opportunity to acquire valuable
onsite education and skills to work as a ‘local’ lawyer in both
Australia and the US.
The duration of our dual-JD program is four years for full-time
students, with two years of full-time study in Washington, DC.
Upon completion of the dual degree, students can sit the US bar
examination and/or start the practical legal training process to
see admission to practise in Victoria.
Those who’ve completed 54 credit points in the JD program at
Monash are eligible to apply, with places allocated on a competitive
basis for up to three students each year. Selection is based on
academic merit and is open to local and international students
who are from a country other than the US.
I chose the Monash JD because of the
international dual-JD program, my interest
in international corporate law, the great
reputation of the Monash Law Faculty and
the location of the law chambers in the CBD.”
