Diploma of Legal Studies (L1D)

University of Tasmania (UTAS)

The Diploma of Legal Studies provides you with the opportunity for exposure to law study without a full commitment to a law degree. It is suitable both for those who plan pursue a role that could benefit from some legal knowledge, as well as those who already have this as part of their career. In addition to introductory law units that cover the foundations of law and legal reasoning, you can choose units to target one or more specialist areas relevant to your work (depending on your experience). There are also avenues for inquiry into areas including international law, human rights and environmental law, to give you a broader understanding of the role of law. Assessment tasks through the course will enhance your ability to prepare written advice and develop arguments in response to legal problems. This will see you graduating with an understanding of ethical practice with essential skills across legal reasoning, research and effective communication.
