Legal Studies is a 2 unit course for each of Preliminary (Year 11) and HSC (Year 12). This is a Board Developed course.
The Preliminary course develops students’ knowledge and understanding about the nature and social functions of law and law making, the development of Australian and international legal systems, and the specific nature of the Australian constitution, and the role of the individual. This is achieved by investigating, analysing and synthesising legal information and investigating legal issues from a variety of perspectives.
The HSC course investigates the key areas of law, justice and human rights through a variety of focus studies which consider how changes in societies influence law reform. Click here for the full couse details
