Bachelor of Legal Transformation

About

In this time of radical change, the industry needs a new kind of professional … and they're not lawyers.

The legal industry is changing rapidly because of new technologies, new providers, and shifting client expectations. Lawyers and officers of the court operate across multiple jurisdictions – from country to country, from the real world to the virtual world, from traditional media and paper files to social media and cloud storage.

This brave new world is disrupting how the law is interpreted, applied, and practised at every level.

Bond's Bachelor of Legal Transformation is designed for people who want to work in the legal world but not as practising legal professionals. It focusses on the operation and development of digital technologies, design thinking and innovation to transform how legal services are delivered.

The program offers students an immersive, transdisciplinary learning experience, drawing knowledge from multiple faculties and study disciplines to equip graduates with a robust view of legal transformation, a flexible skillset, and a niche area of specialisation.

The Bachelor of Legal Transformation can be completed in just two years. As a multidimensional degree, there are no limits to where this future-focussed qualification can take you.

If this has sparked your interest, however, you want the option to become a qualified solicitor then consider Bond’s Bachelor of Laws where you can double major in legal transformation.

Career

Where will your degree take you?

The fourth industrial revolution is disrupting how law is interpreted, applied, and practised, at every level. In this time of radical change, the industry needs a new kind of professional … and they’re not lawyers. New technologies, new providers, and shifting client expectations are changing the way legal services are delivered. Lawyers and officers of the court are operating across multiple jurisdictions – from country to country, from the real world to the virtual world, from traditional media and paper files to social media and cloud storage.

This legal enterprise of the future is multidisciplinary and far from conventional. It has fewer lawyers and more project managers, data scientists, digital designers and design thinkers. As a graduate of Bond's legal transformation program, your career pathways are limitless, with a range of future role possibilities that will prepare you to take on this brave new world.

Outcomes

Legal operations manager

A legal operations manager or legal project manager supports and oversees a full range of projects for legal teams which include managing outside counsel and vendors, overseeing the legal department's budget, and fulfilling staffing needs.

Legal solutions architect

Centred around providing solutions to enhance the client's experience, legal solutions architects need a critical understanding of technology, knowledge management, business analysis, process improvement and project management with the skillset to anticipate, identify, sell and drive innovative business solutions.

Paralegal

Paralegals play a vital role in the legal system. Traditionally not admitted to practice law, paralegals often perform similar legal tasks performed by junior lawyers, under the supervision and tutelage of a senior lawyer. As a paralegal, you can become a specialist in litigation, intellectual property, mediation, and corporate law, among other areas.
