Law

Shaping the future of justice

More than ever, the world needs legal minds – confident and capable individuals equipped with the necessary skills to tackle big problems across a range of sectors, from the corporate world to family law, criminal justice, and even climate change. Recognised as one of Australia’s top law schools for both domestic and international students, the Bond University Faculty of Law is an ideal training ground for the innovative, adaptive and passionate professionals of tomorrow.

If practising law is your goal, begin the journey with our Bachelor of Laws or, for postgraduate students, the Juris Doctor. Taught by legal experts with decades of industry experience, our programs not only focus on imparting legal knowledge, but also work to develop crucial ‘lawyering’ skills – problem solving, innovation, time management, compassion and more – to prepare you for the workforce. If you’d prefer to learn more about how great legal minds can shape the world, and hone your skills for a specific niche, we offer several undergraduate and postgraduate programs that lay legal foundations but will not qualify you for admission as a lawyer.

Spotlight on

The National High School Mooting Competition

A moot is a mock court proceeding. In a moot, students act as legal counsel representing one of the parties to those proceedings, delivering oral presentations of legal submissions, against opposing counsel, before a moot court judge. Hosted by the Bond University Faculty of Law, the National High School Mooting Competition is one of the most established of its kind in Australia. The competition provides an opportunity for high school students from across the nation to learn more about the law and begin to develop tangible legal skills. The National High School Mooting Competition is open to students in Years 11 and 12 at Australian high schools. Teams are made up of two or three students, and the preliminary rounds of the competition are held virtually (online), with the semi-finals and grand final held on campus on the Gold Coast at Bond.

Hear from a Bondy

Studying law has broadened my understanding of society and encouraged me to think critically while problem solving. A highlight of my time at Bond has been representing Bond at the Australian Law Students’ Association national conference in Tasmania. My advice to high school students is that every opportunity to step outside your comfort zone is an invitation for personal growth.
