UWA Law School 4.32

UWA Law School is the oldest law school in Western Australia and the fifth-oldest in Australia. Founded in 1927 in close partnership with local practitioners and judges who assisted with teaching, the UWA Law School continues to ensure students have the opportunity to engage with experts and leaders in all areas of law. We are committed to upholding the rule of law, and the promotion of the highest standards of ethical conduct, professional responsibility, and community service. We’re a research-intensive university committed to exploring the unknown, challenging convention and making things happen.

UWA Law School fosters excellence, integrity and inclusivity in student learning through a diverse and inspiring range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses, teaching methods and learning environments. With a focus on legal professionalism, through our taught courses we aim to produce students who are both civically and globally responsible and work-ready. Our flagship qualifying degree continuously responds to both current and future needs, and challenges to ensure we continue to produce the highest-quality law graduates. Most recently, in 2013, the Bachelor of Laws was replaced with the Juris Doctor to better prepare our graduates for contemporary legal practice.
