The subject is designed to provide students from a range of disciplines with a fundamental understanding of the Australian legal system and the areas of law particularly relevant to business and commercial relationships. Its objective is to develop in students an understanding of the Australian legal framework as a basis for undertaking more specialised studies including those in a range of disciplines and fields other than law. The subject is structured to cover 12 topics: nine of which address learning about the Australian legal system and the business relationships it regulates; the final three topics focus on the specific area of international law. Topics 1–9 provide for the development of an understanding of Australian law and its operation that equip students to move effectively into the more specialised learning involved with topics 10–12 which explore Australian law in an international context.
