LLB203 Constitutional Law

Unit synopsis

Constitutional Law examines the constitutional arrangements effected by the Commonwealth and State Constitutions, the division of power between the Commonwealth and States, and the relations between the different levels of government. The Commonwealth Constitution is a 'higher' law and therefore ordinary laws passed by the Commonwealth or State Parliaments may depend upon the Constitution for their validity.
