The School of Law seeks to foster a strong academic environment for 
the study of law as an intellectual discipline, open to a wide range 
of theoretical and cross-disciplinary perspectives and linked to the

broadly based and interdisciplinary and emphasises analysis of the 
legal order in its historical and contemporary context.  The School

LLB, BCom LLB, BEc LLB and BSc LLB) and a part-time graduate LLB

admission to legal practice.  The appointee will be expected to 
participate fully in the development and teaching of the external 
program, but previous experience in distance education is not 
essential.  At the postgraduate level, the School offers PhD an LLM 
degrees by research and coursework degrees in Environmental and Local 
Government Law and Media, Technology and the Law and is reviewing its
