Subject coordinator: S Carr-Gregg
In this subject students are introduced to the common law and its place in the Australian legal environment. The skills of legal research, case analysis, statutory interpretation, legal problem solving and critical analysis – which are essential to the study and practice of the law – are also developed in the course of students' learning.
Students begin their inquiry by considering primary and secondary sources of the common law, the development of common law, courts and lawyers, and the spread and reception of common law. They then examine contract law in the common law, public law and the common law, and business transactions in the common law.
