Frequently Asked QuestionsWill all law students be allowed to use the Legal Skills Centre facilities?Yes. Unlike some universities where only selected students are permitted to use the high-tech moot courts, all Bond Law students will have access to the Legal Skills Centre’s e-courtrooms and the opportunity to learn how to use the technology. How is Bond’s Legal Skills Centre different from the facilities at other Australian universities?On the occasion of his visit to Bond University’s Legal Skills Centre, the Honourable Justice Kirby described it as “home to the finest moot court in any Australian institution”. While a few other universities have developed stand-alone electronic courtrooms, at Bond’s Legal Skills Centre, these facilities are fully integrated with other training functions such as mediation and dispute resolution rooms, PLT training facilities, practice moot courts and teaching spaces. Also, the smaller class sizes at Bond means that our students will have more access to all the facilities and equipment, with everyone getting hands-on training and experience in order to familiarise themselves with the technology. Are the Legal Skills Centre facilities available to people from outside the University?Most definitely. We actively encourage representatives from the legal profession and wider community to make use of the Legal Skills Centre. In this way, Bond Law is able to provide a state-of-the-art facility for the benefit of the community and offer a venue where legal industry professionals can interact and develop contacts with our students.
Younger, aspiring law students will also have the opportunity to experience the high-tech environment of a 21st century courtroom when the Legal Skills Centre hosts events such as Bond University’s High School Mooting
