30 years of Law - Flinders University

In 2022, Flinders University is celebrating 30 years of Law.

Graduates of our world-class legal education are now leaders in the profession, in industry, academia and beyond. We’re headed towards a bright future - committed to the innovative knowledge, skills and practice needed to tackle the challenges of our time.

The first students graduating from our Bachelor of Laws program, 1996.

Flinders Law creates future-ready leaders.

Our society needs legal professionals empowered to face the legal and technological challenges of our changing world, and Flinders Law has the most innovative law curriculum in Australia. Graduates will also have met the academic components required for admission to legal practice, and undertake integrated practical training readying them for work in the sector.

"We’re focused on teaching our students with a curriculum that equips them well for the changing skillset that legal professionals now require.

It's assumed that all law graduates will have a rigorous knowledge of the law – and we give them that – but more than that, they need to understand how to survive and thrive in what is a very dynamic context.”
