Well, lots of study and practice to be sure, but students in the Juris Doctor / Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice program also have the option to take a elective courses involving either international study tours or international internships.

University of Newcastle students who participated in the international study tour to Japan in December last year, which focused on environmental law, created a video to document their experiences!

This isn’t the first time Newcastle law students got to experience international travel and learning.  Last summer, 20 law student students enjoyed a trip to East Java in Indonesia as part of the law program’s International Study Experience course.
