LLB464 International Legal Placement

This unit is a work integrated learning (WIL) unit and provides you with opportunities to undertake short-term international externships, field placements and study tours overseas. Students can either apply for one of the advertised placement opportunities or can organise their own international placement with a local in-country organisation (subject to approval by the unit co-ordinator). Placement experiences cover a broad range of international work experiences, including community legal education, human rights advocacy, research and global policy, comparative law and business. The distinguishing features of this unit are the focus on experiential learning in another country, and the requirement to complete a minimum of 60 hours work either in-country or through a combination of in-country work and related research at home.
