Course structure
The Juris Doctor requires the successful completion of 300 credit points.
To obtain the degree students must complete:
- 200 credit points of compulsory subjects
- Juris Doctor (JD) students are not allowed to select a fourth subject in Semester 1, Year 1. Elective subjects can only be taken in Year 2 and 3 respectively.
- 100 credit points of JD (quota and enrichment) and Melbourne Law Masters (MLM) elective subjects including
- A maximum of 100 credit points of JD quota elective subjects
- A maximum of 100 credit points of JD enrichment elective subjects
- A maximum of 25 credit points of MLM elective subjects
- Melbourne Law Masters (MLM) electives: JD students can apply to take up to 25 credit points of their electives (typically two) from the list of MLM electives. Students cannot self-enrol into MLM electives. Enrolments will be confirmed after a selection process has been run.
Compulsory subjects
Sixteen subjects are compulsory, enabling the School to provide its students with cumulative learning, by integrating both subject matter and skills across and between semesters. These subjects are organised so as to ensure a balanced range in each semester, between which linkages can be made. In addition, subjects in both private and public law build progressively over the semesters, contributing to the effectiveness of the learning experience.
In the first semester of the JD students are grouped into cohorts for compulsory subjects. This enhances the collegial experience of, and learning communities forged between, students during their time in the School and establishes bonds that will continue long after graduation.
Elective subjects
The remaining eight subjects are chosen by students from a wide range of optional subjects offered by the School. These vary from year to year, enabling the School to respond to changes in the law and legal thinking and giving students access to the latest developments in research by some of the leading scholars in the School.
Standard course plan - 3 years
In its standard form, the degree is taken full time over three years. This format enables students to take advantage of other educational, professional and social opportunities during the summer and winter breaks, including seasonal clerkships, international exchanges, internships, mooting and Law Review editorial work.
Flexible course plans - 2.5, 3.5, 4-6 years
The Melbourne JD can also be accelerated by students with outstanding results with approval from the Law School, by utilising the summer and winter break periods to complete additional JD subjects. The Melbourne JD can also be extended and there are several different course structures available for both full time and part time students. This flexibility enables students to take advantage of other educational, professional and social opportunities during the summer and winter breaks, including seasonal clerkships, international exchanges, internships, mooting and Law Review editorial work. These opportunities are necessarily more limited for accelerating students.
