Overview
Bond’s Faculty of Law has the most extensive connections to Canada of any Australian school, offering all 5 of the required Canadian Law subjects according to the NCA syllabus, taught by Canadian professors to ensure you are best prepared to gain accreditation to practice law in Canada upon your return.
Thousands of Canadians have studied law in Australia at Bond University and are successfully practicing in Canada. The Bond Canadian Law Students’ Association hosts NCA process seminars and provides information and support for Canadians wishing to return to Canada.
Program
Bond University’s Juris Doctor is a graduate-level, extensive skills program with small class sizes. It is an accelerated program, which means it can be completed in two years of full-time study. The program is offered over three semesters each year—September, January, and May.
The Bond JD will prepare you for a career as a legal professional, both within Australia and overseas. An integrated skills and professionalism program is embedded in the degree and focuses on core legal skills essential to the practice of law. The JD offers an engaging learning experience that will challenge you academically and prepare you practically for a legal career.
Bond’s combination of excellent teaching, small classes, and extensive legal skills program differentiates Bond University from any other institution.
You may choose to complete an optional law specialization in one of the following areas:
- Canadian Law and Practice
- Corporate and Commercial Law and Practice
- International Business and Finance Law
- Dispute Resolution
- Family Dispute Resolution

“…the smaller class sizes makes keeping up with programs and finding mentors within the school super easy”
Yes, it is a beautiful campus. the social life there is phenomenal and makes me wish I was still a party guy, but the smaller class sizes makes keeping up with programs and finding mentors within the school super easy. This really is exactly what I want to do and I am learning things that I always wished I could have been.

“It is a good environment with lots of resource”
It is a good environment with lots of resources that students have access to. Most of the professors are very committed to our success and learning process.

“I love my uni and the program.”
I love my uni and the program. It's very challenging and intense and hard (although that's expected on any law school) but there are so many opportunities and support given.
