The Monash JD opens up a wide variety of career pathways to our students, and our graduates have found employment in a range of rich and diverse career avenues, within the legal profession and beyond. “I chose Monash mainly for its reputation and ability to complete the JD part-time in a reasonable time frame. I have been studying at Monash for one semester and have found the staff very helpful. In particular, the commitment of the library staff has been amazing. The library facilities have been great. I have found the online resources invaluable. The ability to log in and access journals and cases from anywhere at any time has been essential. The other students have been very committed and enthusiastic about their studies. It’s great to be studying with a group of students taking their studies seriously.” 11
