I flew to Texas to help defend prisoners on deathrow and wrote a paper on jury tactics in death penalty cases.I travelled to New York to investigate campaign finance law insidethe Obama campaign.The Faculty partnered me with Monash academics who guidedmy research and gave me a rigorous one on one legal training.Monash always supported me financially and organised credittowards my degree. I am in debt to the Faculty of Law for makingmy legal education a colourful immersion in a buzzing legal world,and not the dry and technical abstraction I was afraid of. All of thebest things I have ever done, I did while studying at the MonashFaculty of Law.”David BardaMaster of Intellectual Property Law (2012)14

I was keen to study law as an undergraduate studentbecause it would allow me to take law subjects straight away,concurrently with Arts subjects. Academically, the work ischallenging and interesting. The law school caters to a diversegroup of students by offering a range of excellent elective subjectsalongside the compulsory and quasi-compulsory ones. Thelecturers and tutors I have encountered over the past five yearshave been engaged, approachable and generous with their timeand knowledge.My international experiences have been a definite highlight. In2011 I undertook a semester of my degree at Boston College, justoutside Boston in Massachusetts, USA and at the end of 2012 Icompleted an internship in the London office of an international lawfirm. Through experiences such as these, I feel that studying law atMonash has equipped me well to start my career overseas.”Zoe WoodCurrent Student15
