LLB203 Constitutional Law

An understanding of the role and scope of the Constitution and how to critically consider constitional questions and problems, is critical to your understanding of how our nation functions politically. For example, the Constitution specifies who can stand for parliament, controls what politicians and public servants can and cannot do, provides the basis for Federal legislation and limits Federal and State governments in a number of ways. Knowledge of constitutional law is also required for your admission as a legal practitioner.
