ONLINE LAW COURSE

Designed for professionals working in law-related fields this non-assessed on-line course will provide an understanding of the law and its application in Australia. The material has been prepared by leading academics from The University of Western Australian Law School and specialist practitioners. It covers the history of law and the processes of Australian law and will explain the principles of torts (private or civil wrong), international law and criminal law.

The course is a series of lectures. There is no particular sequence although people who are very new to law are advised to follow the sequence in which the lectures are mounted on the web site:

History of Law,
Law Making,
Criminal Law,
Law of Torts,
International Law.

When you enrol you are provided with a password and access for a two month period of time. During that period you are able to access the site at any time and work at your own pace. You can move around the lectures and in and out of links as you require.

It is hard to estimate how long it will take a person to go through all the lectures because of the ability to move around the site. The original lectures on campus, on which these are based, were 2 hours each and were held once a week. UWA Extension is therefore providing access for up to 2 months so that you will not be pushed for time.

A UWA Extension Certificate is available on request.
