Koora Kudidj Pre-Law Program

Course Code: N1071

Law is an integral part of Aboriginal culture. The Koora Kudidj ('Learn Before') Pre-Law Program offers Indigenous people alternative access to entrance to the Law School and a chance of succeeding in Law or Legal Studies.

Koora Kudidj is an intensive four-week course which commences at the beginning of each year. The course is designed to assess the suitability of applicants wishing to study in the Law School. Successful graduates are guaranteed a place in first year Law or Legal Studies.

This course is designed to prepare and assess Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students for admission to Law (LLB) and the Bachelor of Legal Studies (BLS). Applicants will develop strategies and techniques to handle the pressures and routines of university studies. The components are:
Study skills: how to draw on library resources, think critically and creatively about law, and present ideas in reflective, formal and oral ways.
Personal experience: consider the role of law in your own life, culture and community, and in the lives of others.
Theory and practice: explore key ideas and state-of-the-art practices aimed at preparing you for law in the 21st century.
