Designing Effective Legislation (LAWS90277) // Eligibility and requirements

Eligibility and requirements

Corequisites

Non-allowed subjects

Recommended background knowledge

A law degree, or experience working in policy analysis or government relations. This subject will require experience in reading and analysing complex legislation.   Professional experience working with legislation will be a strong advantage.

Applicants without legal qualifications should note that subjects are taught at an advanced graduate level and requires a thorough background in common law. While efforts are made to meet the needs of students trained in other fields, teaching and assessment activities are designed to give an advanced and integrated understanding of the discipline of law for legal practitioners, learners and researchers.  

The assessment for this subject includes both class participation (10%) and an oral presentation in class or by video (20%) and therefore requires high level oral presentation skills. 

Inherent requirements (core participation requirements)

The University of Melbourne is committed to providing students with reasonable adjustments to assessment and participation under the Disability Standards for Education (2005), and the Assessment and Results Policy (MPF1326). Students are expected to meet the core participation requirements for their course. These can be viewed under Entry and Participation Requirements for the course outlines in the Handbook.
