Juris Doctor

The Juris Doctor (JD) is a full-fee professional legal qualification approved by the Legal Practitioners’ Admission Board for admission purposes.


The Juris Doctor is designed for graduates from non-law disciplines and lawyers with a civil law degree seeking to practise law in Australia. Another outstanding feature of this full-fee course is that graduates will receive advanced standing for half an LLM at UNE. JD graduates will only need to complete another four LLM electives to be eligible for a Master of Laws. Outstanding students may graduate with honours.
