As a result of the recent review of the LLB program, a revised program structure for the JD will commence in 2008. The revised program will impact on pre-2008 students through changes in course numbering, the unit value of some courses, the availability of compulsory courses, and in the range of electives.
All JD students are strongly encouraged to read through the following documents. They summarise the main changes to the program and include important tips for program planning.
- Summary of Changes and Tips for Program Planning
- Individual Course Transition Arrangements
Recommended Study Plans
Students who commenced the JD program in 2006 or 2007 should refer to the relevant recommended study plan below. These study plans show the courses that post-2006 JD students should take from 2008 to complete their programs.
NB. Students who up until this point have not been following the recommended study plan for their program may need to seek additional program planning advice.
Students who commenced the JD program prior to 2006 should contact the JD Administrative Officer for individual program planning advice.
Program Planning Advice
Students who are concerned about their program plans as a result of the changes should seek advice by emailing the JD Administrative Officer. Students who, as a result of the changes, believe they will have an odd number of units (#) in their program are especially urged to seek advice.
