Best Law Electives to Take? (1 Viewer)

[Focus is Key]

Hey everyone, I was just wondering what people think the best law electives to take would be. I'm studying a Law/International Studies degree at UOW. As far as I know, I can choose 2 of the Autumn subjects and 3 of the Spring subjects. I'm looking to do subjects that will be useful practically as well as interesting. What subjects would you all recommend?

I'm leaning toward subjects like International Law, Human Rights Law, Law of Employment, Anti-Discrimination Law, Family Law.

I'd highly recommend that you ask on the UOW Law Society/Students facebook group page (assuming that there is one). I'm sure there'll be older students who would love to pass down their experiences with certain subjects.

You'll get limited responses on BoS.

Pick whichever one you actually want to do, none of them will actually help you in your career...

My picks, just because:

LLB313/LAW993 Legal Research Project
LLB/LAW343 International Law
LLB/LAW354 Human Rights Law
LLB324 Public Interest Law
LLB/LAW 360 Foreign Investment Law in China
LLB366 Animal Law (Intensive)

I would do the Anti Discrimination one just for shits and giggles... Legislation designed to undermine meritocracy...

Thanks, great idea I've asked them about a couple of subjects so far and it seems to be working out.
