Recommended background knowledge
The JD elective Murder is designed to address criminal law through an in-depth study of the common law of homicide. It does not require the student to have done the compulsory Criminal Law and Procedure subject in the JD. As in the past, it is designed for students interested in criminal law, whether in the first, second or third year of their JD degree.
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.
