WELCOMEA UOW law degree can take you anywhere.

You’ll hear this a lot at UOW, but you might like to see some evidence. I’m glad to welcome you on behalf of the UOW Faculty of Law and invite you to read on and explore the reasons why UOW is a great place to study law.

At UOW there is much more to studying law than simply learning legal theory and rules. One of our aims has always been to have graduates known for what we call ‘real world readiness’. You will have a very sound skills base and you will also be a flexible, analytical thinker who is sensitive to the human side of the law.

Our unique approach to legal education will provide you with a critical and questioning attitude, broad perspectives and the skills and knowledge required for whatever career you may choose.

You’ll find that our graduates aren’t only lawyers: they’re diplomats, politicians, advisers, consultants, project managers, academics and researchers. With a UOW law degree the whole world is in front of you.

PROFESSOR LUKE MCNAMARA DEAN, FACULTY OF LAW

UNIVERSITY OF WOLLONGONG2

Over 30 Australian universities offer law degrees. They’re not all the same—so which law degree is right for you?At UOW we know that it’s not just what you learn that counts, it’s how you learn it.

WHAT WE DOCONNECT: OUR FACULTY


A FIRM FOUNDATIONFirst-year law at UOW is an immersion experience where you are introduced to the foundational knowledge, values, qualities and skills needed for success throughout your studies. It’s not all theory: you’ll receive professional skills training in three areas of legal practice. Practical modules in legal research and writing, communication skills and advocacy will help build your confidence and independence.

Your timetable in first session is structured so that you have classes with the same group of people for all of your subjects. This approach provides you with a smooth transition into university and fosters valuable social and learning networks.Classes are kept small to ensure you’re supported and guided by our committed teaching team.

You’ll find that studying law is stimulating, intellectually challenging and sometimes even fun.

ISAAC WALL BACHELOR OF COMMERCE – BACHELOR OF LAWS

“For the first session, law classes are a bit closer to the structure of High School: you have a set group of about 20 people and you all have the same tutorials. You are always together and get to know each other really well.

I built a lot of social bonds and made a lot of great friends that I’m still quite close to.

The skills subjects were a good introduction. We did Legal Research and Writing and I think it was very important. It gives you the skills you need to complete assignments properly, particularly research assignments. Research for law assignments is quite different, there’s a lot of detail so the skills subjects are a real plus.”

5LAW

EXPERIENCE THE LAW IN ACTIONWe believe that practical experience is a vital part of legal training. In fact, we are the only law school in Australia that requires all students complete a work placement (legal internship) as part of their law degree.

At UOW, a legal internship is not simply ‘work experience’, it is an important learning tool that gives you an opportunity to apply your legal knowledge to real life situations. An internship allows you to develop an understanding of the human, social and policy contexts of law beyond the classroom.

Your internship experience can also help you decide on a career direction and may even open doors to future employment options.

ALEX MCLENNAN BACHELOR OF COMMERCE – BACHELOR OF LAWS

“My main interest is in business and property law, so I really wanted to see it in practice.

It was great to see developers come in with a problem and be able to go through the process and help them get it done. I enjoyed working through it in person rather than just reading about it in a textbook.

I’ve seen buildings go up since I did my internship and realised that I played a small part in making that happen. Now I’m definitely considering a career in property law.”


GET MORE OUT OF LIFEExtracurricular activities make an important contribution to the life and culture of our Faculty. The Law Students’ Society is a great way to make friends and help build connections with your peers, the Faculty and the legal profession.

JAMES LY BACHELOR OF COMMERCE – BACHELOR OF LAWS PRESIDENT, UOW LAW STUDENTS’ SOCIETY

“We are a not-for-profit organisation that represents the interests of UOW law students. We run the student mooting, client interviewing and negotiation competitions, careers workshops and lots of social events. We also help organise an annual Clerkship Expo where some of the big commercial firms come to UOW and talk about their Summer Clerkship and Graduate Employment programs.

It’s rewarding, knowing that you are assisting students in every way—social, educational and vocational—and helping them find a career path.”

7LAW

EXPAND YOUR HORIZONSUOW’s International Exchange Program gives you the opportunity to study overseas for one or two sessions at one of over 140 partner institutions. Going on exchange is a great way to experience life in another country while you complete subjects that count towards your UOW degree. Adding an international dimension to your law degree will also give you an edge in today’s competitive market.

JESSICA SHILLINGTON BACHELOR OF COMMERCE – BACHELOR OF LAWS UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS

“The practice of law is global in nature so studying abroad prepares you for an international market. The University of Texas has a huge political science department that offered subjects relevant to my degree. This meant I was still getting credit for my subjects back at UOW but also getting the opportunity to learn and understand a foreign legal system.”

MAKE YOUR MARKA UOW law degree is a passport to a diverse range of career options. We’re proud of the way our degree successfully equips students with the skills and qualities to take on the world.

So when we get asked ‘where will a UOW law degree take me?’, the simple answer is: anywhere!

How do we know? We asked our graduates.


The story of how UOW graduate Marcel Gordon came to work at Google tells us how much technology has changed in the last decade.

When he started studying at UOW in 2001, Google was barely two years old and still a new buzz word to most people. By the time Marcel completed his studies, Google was one of the largest companies in the world and today receives more than one billion unique views per month.

“These two areas of study were entirely different. They presented different challenges and were independently interesting. It was an opportunity to pursue two paths at once.”

“Computer science is the technical foundation and without it I wouldn’t be credible. In my current role this helps me work more closely with engineering and understand their language. The Law degree gives me the skill set to communicate effectively and to think critically about what we are building.”

Marcel achieved an exceptional level of academic performance during his studies at UOW. He was continually recognised academically, the highlight being a University Medal upon graduation—an award presented to the top students in their respective faculties.

While studying at UOW, Marcel went on exchange to Canada for a year and lived at UOW’s International House residence for three years.

“There’s a whole world out there of really interesting people. My exchange experience gave me the firm idea of working overseas.”

After his success at UOW and with his end goal of the global stage in mind, Marcel was accepted into the Master of Law program at the University of Cambridge, UK.

“I found that UOW was excellent preparation as anyone for studying at Cambridge.”

One of the reasons that working at Google appeals to Marcel is the opportunity to travel regularly between London, California and New York.

Another reason Marcel enjoys his job is the ability to be able to control the future of the product. “The whole process is entirely up to me. I find it hard to imagine myself in a role where I’m told every three hours what I should be doing. I really value that I’m kind of my own boss. I have the freedom to set the direction for myself and the products we work on.”

“That is something I really appreciated about university, you are given a subject and resources—the way you learn it is really up to you.”

From a summer clerk to partner: that’s the path UOW graduate Bryony Binns took at global firm Baker & McKenzie.

In 2001, during her degree, Bryony did a summer clerkship with the firm in Bangkok. In 2003 she moved into a graduate position, which eventually led to her becoming an employment and industrial relations lawyer, and partner of the Australian firm.

“There’s been a lot of hard work in between,” she admits.

Whether it’s being a mother to her three children or working part-time to complete a Masters degree and an internship with the Australian Human Rights Commission, Bryony has always made time for family and for pursuing opportunities. She explains that life experience makes her a better lawyer and someone who can relate to her clients.

A typical day for Bryony ranges from being in court, where she does a lot of anti-discrimination work, to training clients’ staff, or consulting clients about labour law issues in a range of contexts. It is this variety that most appeals to Bryony.

“My work changes on a day-to-day basis. I have clients from across the Asia Pacific region, so I often travel .”

“I’m not someone who could pore over reams of tax legislation, I’m more interested in stories that involve people. I find the ‘people’ element the most rewarding for me in this area of law.”

In 2011, Bryony received an Australian Leadership Award from the ADC forum, a non-profit organisation that recognises the achievements and contributions of new-generation leaders in Australia.

During her time at UOW Bryony got involved with student life opportunities. She was president of the Law Students’ Society in her penultimate year and was also part of the Law Revue, a comedy-sketch show produced and performed by students, which allowed her to do something creative and meet new people.

“The nice thing about UOW is that you’re not just a number. It’s always been a fairly small community, so you tend to get to know people in your degree programme and beyond quite well.”

“UOW grads don’t all end up in large institutional firms. We end up in many varied roles: in-house counsel, in government, at the bar, at big and small firms. UOW attracts a variety of different people with varied life experience, knowledge and skills—which always makes for a more interesting learning experience.”

Volunteering at Salvos Legal Humanitarian, a not-for-profit law firm owned and run by The Salvation Army, provided the perfect avenue for UOW graduate Mitchell Broom to give back to the community.

“I wanted to share my knowledge and volunteering at Salvos Legal was one way to do it.”

Mitchell started volunteering during his UOW studies because it allowed him to combine practical legal experience with his belief that everyone should have access to legal advice.

“Throughout my law degree I came to think that having a legal education is a real privilege. A lot of people don’t know what their rights are under the law, so whether that person is on the streets and in trouble with the police, or a director of an ASX 200 company, they deserve access to that legal knowledge.”

Mitchell is now employed at Wyatt Attorneys, but he still makes the time for Salvos Legal Humanitarian, volunteering his time once a month.

“I’m representing people that really need a helping hand, people who may have found themselves in some pretty awful situations.”

According to Mitchell practical experience is the only thing that can come close to preparing you for a career in law.

“I learn something new every day. When you’re at uni people say you won’t stop learning after you graduate and it’s true: the law degree is just the starting point.”

Mitchell studied a double degree with Law and Commerce.

“Combining law with another degree gives you a better perspective on how the law works in different disciplines.”

“So when I was studying trust accounting in law, I knew how accounting worked; and in the subject Law of Business Organisations I gained insight into how most companies were structured and what the purpose of a board was as opposed to just knowing the legal requirements associated with the organisation.”

A licensed builder, Kelvin Keane was looking for a change and found it studying at UOW.

“My daughter was doing a law degree and I was reading her work. I had been doing some tertiary teaching at TAFE on a casual basis and I was looking to leave the building industry and enter a different profession.”

“I found that there were a lot of openings in areas of law for people with a technical background. Most of my building work was contractual, so I was always involved in the contracts and legal documents that came along with it.”

Kelvin began his studies by completing a year of the Bachelor of Arts degree. He achieved the academic results that allowed him to successfully transfer into a double degree combination with law.

Upon graduation Kelvin pursued his interest in insurance and building. He now consults on disputes between builders and developers and also works in occupational health and safety. His earlier experience as a licensed builder has given him an edge working in this field.

“My advice is to take advantage of the skills that will differentiate you from all the other graduates and utilise the knowledge you have gained from your past experiences as much as possible.”

Since Kelvin had been working for years before studying law, he explains how he benefited from the support provided by staff in adjusting back into study.

“For my generation there were definitely a few things that were quite different—such as technology and the computer software. I made an effort to go to additional classes on research and computer skills to ensure my knowledge expanded beyond what I was studying in classes.”

“The teachers and staff at UOW were very helpful and I’ve even contacted them for advice after graduation. They always find time to speak to me and provide their support.”

Kelvin is a great example of someone who has pursued their dreams. “I’m really glad I followed my passion. I enjoy the variety my day-to-day work brings and I’m always happy to welcome new challenges.”

Life as a barrister is a constant learning curve for UOW graduate Paul Folino-Gallo. “The practice of trial law is one you spend a lifetime pursuing but never perfecting,” he explains. “There are always pieces of your practice that you want to refine. It’s an ongoing process.”

Working long hours is normal for Paul, it’s certainly not a workload that many people would envy, but it’s seeing that hard work pay off that makes it all worthwhile.

”There’s not much scope for sleeping in,” Paul admits, “but that’s pretty much your average day in the life of a barrister.”

After completing a double degree in Law and Commerce, Paul’s first graduate position was at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) where he worked in international taxation.

“My role with PwC focused on providing advice to multinational companies and entertainers. When someone like Billy Joel came to Australia, he’d be earning income in Australia and I’d advise him on the tax implications.”

Today, as a barrister, Paul represents clients specialising in commercial equity issues.

Paul cites the intimate nature of UOW compared to some of the bigger universities as something that helped maintain contacts over the years. “The law classes at UOW are smaller and student focused, providing greater opportunity to develop a professional network. A lot of people that I studied with at UOW have now become my briefing solicitors.”

After graduating from UOW in 1994, Daniel Hartley worked in law firms in Sydney for five years before moving to London for two years—or so he thought. Twelve years later, Daniel is back in London, having spent 3 years living in the US, and has a job that takes him around the world.

Daniel works for Shire Pharmaceuticals where he is currently leading Shire’s Human Genetic Therapies legal team. He is responsible for teams in Latin America, the US, Switzerland, and all over Europe.

“We research, develop and commercialise treatments for very rare diseases, most of our products are biological products, made from human cell lines. We sell or provide these products through charitable organisations pretty much all over the world. For me it’s a great role because of the science, the business partnering and the global reach.”

For Daniel the appeal of working for a company is the structured working hours that allow him to spend time with his family as well as pursuing a legal career.

While he graduated some time ago now, Daniel still has connections to UOW. “It was a really nice place to be, the culture, the students, all make it a great place to spend time. I still reach out to a couple of lecturers every now and then.”

Having worked in law firms and in the private sector Daniel has used the skills from his degree in a variety of settings.

“The study and practice of law gives you a great analytical thought process which can be applied across many industries.”

It’s hard to know where to begin when describing the achieve-ments of UOW Graduate Natalie Viselli. At 27, Natalie has a wealth of experience under her belt: as well as her current role with the Government she is also the National President of JCI Australia, a non-profit organisation that provides opportunities for young people to develop leadership skills.

“JCI is a global organisation with over 200,000 members around the world. We’re trying to generate positive change and help prepare people to become tomorrow’s leaders.”

When Natalie first graduated she worked as Research Manager for IRIS Research and during her time in that role was named the IWIB Illawarra Young Business Woman of the Year (2011). After a while Natalie was keen to start exploring her interests in law and policy.

“The skill set I gained from completing a double degree in Commerce and Law opened up a lot of opportunities for me. There were so many job options and in the end I decided to go with the Department of Broadband.”

Natalie’s role involves working through the challenges emerging in areas of copyright and examining how Australia’s copyright framework is reacting to the changes within the digital world.

“The future of our economy and society is very much online, so we are constantly reviewing what we can do online in the business, education and health sectors. How it will benefit Australians and what policies we need to allow that to happen.”

Natalie also spends some of her time travelling overseas on behalf of JCI, visiting countries including Japan, Singapore, the Philippines and Belgium. In 2011, she attended the JCI Academy in Japan and was part of a delegation that visited tsunami affected areas.

JCI is entirely volunteer work and Natalie isn’t in any hurry to give it up. “I get a thrill out of helping young people and seeing them experience the same opportunities that I had.”
