We have made some changes to the way our Legal Research and Writing (LRW) courses are offered, which may impact your progress.
What are the changes?
In 2022, a new course was created, LAWS1055/JURD7155 Legal Research & Writing, combining both Stage 1 and Stage 2 of Legal Research and Writing. LAWS2277/JURD7272 LRW – Australian Law was also created to support students who had only completed Stage 1 of Legal Research & Writing.
What do these changes mean for me?
Please read the information below carefully, as it may or may not apply to you depending on which LRW Stages you have completed.
