ANU College Of Law

The ANU College of Law is Australia’s national law school. Ranked among the top law schools in Australia – and the top 20 in the world – the ANU College of Law has a long-standing reputation for excellence in legal education, research and community outreach. Through a focus on local, national and global contexts, the ANU College of Law provides students with a unique understanding of current law and policy, and a critical perspective on how they might be reformed to better meet the needs of a rapidly changing society. Across undergraduate, postgraduate and research degrees, the ANU College of Law equips students with the insight and knowledge demanded by the world’s leading employers. At home and abroad, our graduates work not only as lawyers, but as agents for social change, public policy and global diplomacy. With a 50-year legacy, and many academic staff recognised as leaders in their fields, the ANU College of Law has built an enviable research profile. We seek to shape and influence public policy, with particular expertise in constitutional and administrative law, international law and environmental law, and an emphasis on the values of law reform and social justice. Located in Australia’s capital city, Canberra, the ANU College of Law has strong links with the nation’s law-making and legislative bodies, including the Australian Parliament, the High Court and government agencies such as the Attorney-General’s Department, Treasury, Prime Minister and Cabinet and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
