LAW AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE

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 EXPERIENCEPractical learning is important, so we incorporate hands-on experience

into your degree. Be involved in mock trials 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 EDGEGraduate 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 your 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’ll 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, commerce (accounting), arts, journalism and professional writing, or psychological

science. Apply on entry, or combine your qualifications during your studies.

“Employers often tell us that UniSA law graduates show strength in taking initiative with a ‘can do’ attitude, and are prepared for the challenges of the legal profession – this is testament to

our teaching ethos and culture of engagement. Our industry

connections allow students to hear from experts about how the law is applied, which adds an invaluable element to their learning.

As a former lawyer and now teacher and researcher, I want to prepare students for their future careers as legal professionals and we have so many fantastic members of the legal community who are pleased to share their time and expertise.”

“Technology has certainly streamlined

many aspects of the legal industry; traditional

career paths and law firm structures are certainly more dynamic than they once were. It’s important to build transferable skills – that is, a willingness to work hard, the ability to lead by example, as well as a desire to learn and give everything a go. My advice is to remain true to your professional core values and skills, but don’t be afraid to embrace change.”
