University of Newcastle Law School graduate practicing in Ontario

Can you really study law at an Australian law school and come back to Canada to practice?

It’s a common question we receive, and for good reason. Who wants to invest time and money on a degree you can’t use at home?

Well, the good news is yes, you can! Every year OzTREKK sends dozens of Canadians to Australia to study Juris Doctor or Bachelor of Laws degrees, and every year, graduates come back to Canada and are successful at finding employment.

After graduating from the University of Newcastle in 2013, international alumna and law graduate Kaitlin Jagersky believes studying the Juris Doctor/Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice has made all the difference in gaining employment as a family law lawyer in one of Canada’s leading law firms in Ontario, Canada.
