Law

With a Flinders Law degree the opportunities are endless. By studying a law combined degree at Flinders, Jordan has travelled to the US to intern in the United States Congress as part of the Flinders Washington Internship Program, studied Masters level law topics at Peking University in China with the Australia Asia Endeavour scholarship, gained work experience at Sydney law firm, King and Wood Mallesons and will study at Oxford University as the 2017 Rhodes scholarship recipient.

When studying law at Flinders you learn to think and analyse like a lawyer should. You learn to identify the issues and think about things in a logical manner. You learn to communicate and explain the law to clients verbally and in writing. I ended up doing quite well academically and that was thank in no small part to the assistance I got from staff.

Flinders support network has made it easy to study here, the law professors are incredibly supportive and open to sharing knowledge. I had the opportunity to study overseas which was incredible experience. I learnt about the American criminal justice sytem while visiting prisons, shadowing barristers and attending court.

Studying Law at Flinders there is a fantastic sense of community, the people are really friendly. The practical legal training I received gave me my first taste of working in a legal office. I interviewed clients, researched legal issues and provided advice under the guidance of experienced legal practitioners. I feel well equipped for life as a lawyer after graduation.
