Practicum/Work Placement
| LAWS13020 - CQUniversity discipline of law has fully mapped its curriculum to include experiential learning opportunities in numerous subjects. These opportunities focus on skills development and include: • Simulations - moots, branching simulations, role plays • Drafting legal documents • Client interviewing exercises • Developing legal apps • Emerging Clinical programs - embedded within individual units, as digitally badged experiences, probono community service opportunities and where possible work placements (organised by students). CQUniversity is also entering into a Work Experience Placement Program at the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). Some CQUniversity law subjects have assessment options which enable students to organise and gain recognition of physical placements in legal firms, with barristers and in government legal agencies. The reason these work placements are optional is that the majority of the student body studies part-time online. Placements need to match the flexibility requirements of students. A memorandum of understanding has been signed between CQUniversity and the Central Queensland Community Legal Centre Inc (CQCLC). The CQCLC is a community-based, government funded organisation which provides free legal advice and minor assistance to members of the community who may not otherwise be able to access or afford such assistance. The initiative involves the introduction into the CQCLC of CQU law student probono volunteers, both in person and online, supervised by CQU staff with the intention of expanding the course into distance advice if the initial trial is satisfactory. It is intended that all CQUniversity law students will have the opportunity to be involved with this course. Should this initiative prove successful it will be rolled out to further rural and regional community legal centres. |
| LAWS12073 - Students will undertake a three-week legal humanitarian mission to Phnom Penh, Cambodia, in conjunction with the organisation Antipodeans. Prior to the overseas humanitarian mission, students will study appropriate aspects of international humanitarian law; appropriate aspects of Cambodian law and culture; and will develop practical skills necessary to support their overseas mission. Upon return to Australia, students will undertake an analysis and presentation of their accomplishment. Students will be assessed prior to departing to Cambodia; continuously during the placement period; and on the basis of their contribution to a final group presentation. |

Study Schedule
A recommended study schedule for this course can be obtained from your Student Advisor (Courses and Careers) by contacting 13 27 86.
Students may determine their own schedule based upon credit transfers and personal study requirements. It is important to note that full-time students usually enrol in four units per term and part-time students usually enrol in two units per term.
Students are not permitted to enrol in more than four units per term and must not complete their course in less than three academic years.
For Course Planners please refer to the following website: https://www.cqu.edu.au/study/future-students/your-journey/enrol/course-planners
Please note: Students must also check to see when and where a unit is offered before enrolling. See the unit availability section in this handbook for details.
Computing Requirements
As a student, it is necessary to have access to a computer or equivalent device to complete your coursework. You should have a good understanding of technology and the ability to navigate the online environment, which may involve completing online assessments, participating in online forums and groupwork, and responding to emails. There may be instances where you need to use a computer or equivalent device for in-class tasks or assessments. It is important that you have dependable access to the internet and a computer or equivalent device capable of video conferencing, including a working microphone and video camera, for online classes and assessments. Make sure to review your unit profiles to learn about any specific technology requirements for your coursework.
Credit Transfer & Exemptions
Credit will not be granted towards the CQUniversity Bachelor of Laws course for law units studied at this or other institutions that are not part of an accredited law degree course. In order for students to receive professional accreditation upon completion of the course, all law units must meet the content requirements of the accrediting bodies as specified by legislation. Law units completed outside of a law degree course will not meet these requirements. Even where law units have addressed content similar to that in the CQUniversity Bachelor of Laws course, the assessment will be different in focus to that required in a law degree.
Students who have completed a law unit at an accredited Australian Law School, for which there is no equivalent law unit at CQUniversity, may at the discretion of the Head of Course, be granted credit for an unspecified law elective in the Bachelor of Law degree. The maximum allowable credit will not exceed four unspecified elective units.
Refer to the Credit Transfer website at http://www.cqu.edu.au/credittransfer for further details on the guidelines and application process.
Practising as a Solicitor in Australia
