Going to law school in Australia


Going to law school in Australia?
I am living in the United States and have been applying for law school. But, my fiance may have a wonderful job opportunity in Australia. Could I still apply for & attend a law school in Australia? I understand there is a difference in the legal systems, but I have my undergraduate in International Relations. If I couldn't attend a law school right away, what other similar avenues could I pursue?

Its possible - but the international fees were be very high. Depending on the state - law school is either an undergrad or a post grad degree and both start their year in February so it'll will be 2010 you will be looking at.

Hi, I understood your problem, I have a suggestion to you if you and your fiance are going to settle in Australia, then go for studying about Australian law,and any way you have the undergraduate in International Relations it will helps you in Australian law too. All the best.

Yes, you could apply for law school in Australia. Check out universities' websites for details on how to apply as an international student. Australia actually has a pretty similar system of law to the US. We both have common law systems (although I understand they use civil law in Louisiana) and our system of federalism was heavily modelled on yours.
