About

The law forms the foundation on which civilised societies are based. In fact, it underpins many of society’s social, economic and scientific challenges. Having a knowledge of law will allow you to expertly respond to a range of individual, corporate, national and global problems.

The Juris Doctor will prepare you for a range of careers in Australia and globally, as well as satisfy the educational requirements to become a legal practitioner. It continues Macquarie’s tradition of providing interdisciplinary and contextual perspectives on the study of law.
