Course description
The general Master of Laws by coursework is a flexible program which allows specialisations in Public Interest Law or Global Business Law. Increasingly the practice of law has a pro bono or public interest component. The Public Interest Law program continues La Trobe Law's commitment to innovation and responsiveness to developments in the justice system. It will appeal to practioners, policy makers and those working in regulatory agencies with an interest in the intersection of law and the public interest. The Global Business Law program presents an opportunity to study commercial law in areas of global interest taught by some of the worlds leading academics and commercial practitioners. An extensive range of units in US, European and Asian Law prepares graduates for a career in an international business and legal environment.
