Learning outcomes
Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.
On completion of this unit, students should be able to:
demonstrate an advanced understanding of the central concerns of both traditional jurisprudence and contemporary legal theory
demonstrate an ability to critically appraise the philosophical assumptions that inform the teaching, learning, and practice of Anglo-Australian law
demonstrate an ability to critically evaluate the relationship between theory and practice, in particular, the relationship between ideas about law and specific social, political, and legal practices
identify and evaluate the ethical frameworks within which our practice, both as lawyers and non-lawyers, operates.
