OVERVIEW The QUT Faculty of Law is one of Australia's largest tertiary educators in Law and Justice. The Faculty is a leader in its field, with world class lecturers and researchers on its aca-demic staff.

The Faculty consists of the School of Law, School of Jus-tice and the Legal Practice Unit. It is equipped with a state-of-the-art electronic moot court, a dedicated Law Library and two 24-hour student computer labs. The Faculty is also home to the Law and Justice Research Centre.

A feature that sets QUT Faculty of Law apart is its focus on education ‘for the real world'. Faculty programs provide a sound balance of practical and theoretical training, facilitat-ing the smooth transition of graduates into their chosen careers. The Faculty’s real world approach is enhanced by its close liaison and collaboration with the legal and justice professions.

The Faculty is continually striving for excellence in learning and teaching in response to the demands of its graduates, their employers, the professions and the community. The Faculty's teaching and learning programs develop research and analysis skills within contextual and conceptual frame-works. A global approach to education is adopted which includes international visiting scholars, exchange programs for staff and students, and offshore programs. International and Indigenous content and perspectives are progressively being embedded in Faculty units.

Other initiatives to enhance the quality of the educational experience offered by the Faculty include online delivery of teaching and curricula designed to develop graduate capa-bilities, a field in which the Faculty is an acknowledged leader. The Faculty's online teaching sites provide elec-tronic access to course materials and a broad array of Internet resources, together with increased opportunities for staff-student communication.

The Faculty offers undergraduate study through the Bache-lor of Laws (LLB) and the Bachelor of Justice (BJust) courses. A range of double degree programs is also avail-able, including the Bachelor of Laws in conjunction with the Bachelor of Justice or with a bachelor degree in Applied Science, Arts, Business, Creative Industries, Journalism or Information Technology. A double degree in Laws and Psy-chology is planned to be on offer from 2008.

A three-year accelerated Bachelor of Laws program is available for students who already hold a bachelor degree in another discipline. These students may also have the opportunity to select their elective units from the Law School's postgraduate program and graduate concurrently with a Graduate Certificate in Law.

The Faculty offers a range of postgraduate study options, including graduate certificate and graduate diploma courses, masters degrees by coursework or research, and doctoral programs. Many of these courses provide students with the opportunity to build on relevant undergraduate study or professional experience, and develop their exper-tise in a specialist area. Postgraduate research students are provided with dedicated office space and ICT facilities. The Faculty has staff qualified to supervise research in many fields including, but not limited to:

� Commercial Leases � Commercial/Business Law � Competition � Consumer Protection

� Contract Law � Crime and Criminology � Cyber Law / E-Commerce � Environmental Law � Health Law � Human Rights � Indigenous Issues � Intelligence and Security � Legal / Justice Education � Media Law � Natural Resources Law � Negligence � Policing � Property Law � Public Law � Tax Law � Technology Law � Trade Practices � Intellectual Property and Copyright Law.

Through the Legal Practice Unit, the Faculty also offers a Legal Practice Course (the Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice) to law graduates who wish to satisfy the practical training requirements to be admitted as legal practitioners. The course is offered twice a year in full-time, part-time (in-practice) and part-time (general) modes. The part-time in-practice mode is specially designed for persons who are already working in private or government law offices. The part-time courses are delivered online for the convenience of persons who are working full-time or who otherwise do not wish to study on campus. The full-time course is deliv-ered on-campus in newly refurbished premises that provide every full-time student with a purpose-built work station and networked PC while they are working on campus. Our Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice is Queensland's long-est established practical legal training course and we have successfully prepared over 1000 law graduates for admis-sion as legal practitioners.

The Law School prepares students for careers in law firms, government and other industries. The School of Justice Studies produces graduates with qualifications for employ-ment in policing, justice, defence, security and the social justice field. The Faculty of Law consistently achieves high graduate employment rates, further supporting its position as one of Australia's leading law faculties.

RESEARCH CENTRE Law and Justice Research Centre

The Law and Justice Research Centre is the focal point and support structure for the research endeavours of the Faculty of Law, consistent with the Faculty’s objectives and commitment to economic, cultural and social improvement through:

� Multidisciplinary collaborative approaches; � Nationalisation and internationalisation; and � High impact and professionally-valued research.

One of the Centre’s primary goals is to participate actively in knowledge transfer, particularly to the professions, the community and industry. Another key goal is to support the Faculty’s capacity to conduct priority-driven research de-signed to answer questions of immediate and future con-cern to the professions, the community and to govern-ment.

The fields of research expertise covered by our researchers embrace some of the more complex issues faced by Aus-tralian and global communities, and the areas of research strength within the Faculty are nationally and internationally competitive.

We have a solid and rapidly growing research foundation and have identified specialist groups reflected in research programs, which are domains of established research ac-tivity and strength, with strong strategic direction and poten-tial for future growth. The programs have developed due to the existing track record and activity of their members and because of the potential of the fields for national and inter-national significance. The range of programs recognises Law’s unique ability to contribute and ‘value add’ to a vast range of disciplines. The programs are:

� Commercial Property and Environment � E-Business and E-Government � Intellectual Property, Knowledge, Culture and

Economy � Health Law � Citizenship, Government and Identity � Criminal Justice � Scholarship of Higher Education Learning in Law

and Justice

The Law and Justice Research Centre allows the Faculty to respond to current challenges in research and research training by providing structures that offer greater collabora-tion and support for high quality research and encourage linking of research interest groups within an expanded Fac-ulty research profile, and supports enhancement and sus-tainability of research productivity.
