Do you want a career in the law?
No matter your professional or educational background, a Juris Doctor (JD) can help you get there. As one of Australia's leading law schools, Monash recognises the specific needs of JD degree students and helps you expand your skills and knowledge in line with Australian law requirements.
All Juris Doctor classes are taught at the city-based Monash Law Chambers located in the heart of Melbourne's legal precinct, with small class sizes and innovative teaching methods to foster interactive, in-depth learning.
Beyond the classroom, the Monash Law Clinical Guarantee provides JD students with the opportunity to work in one of our community legal centres, mentored by experienced practitioners. You will gain first-hand legal knowledge and provide an invaluable service to the community while earning credit towards your degree.
This three-year full-time (six-year part-time) graduate entry JD degree provides high-quality, graduate-level education in the theory and practice of law. Your studies will not only cover the knowledge and technical skills expected of legal practitioners, but also the ethical implications of legal practice.
Small, seminar-style classes allow for challenging yet stimulating discussions between students from diverse disciplines and experiences. With evening classes and part-time study options, the flexible nature of the Monash JD allows you to tailor your workload to suit your professional and personal commitments.
There are three intakes per year: January, May and August.
