With one child in kindergarten, a new born baby and a successful career as an academic at Monash University, you may ask what was I thinking when I gave up my job as a lecturer in education and commenced Graduate Law at La Trobe University?

Nerida Mulvey Nerida Mulvey

Bachelor of Laws (Graduate entry)

I chose to study at La Trobe for several reasons, the strongest being that the Law School welcomed mature age students - the very existence of a graduate entry course guaranteed there would be plenty of non-school leavers in my cohort.
