2011 Byron Bay Summer Law School - study law this summer

Welcome from The Hon Greg James QC

Byron Bay Summer Law School

Now in its 14th year, the Southern Cross University Summer Law School at Byron Bay once again offers a range of challenging and interesting law units with credit recognition available to students studying law throughout Australia. Summer School also offers wonderful opportunities for social interaction and recreation and attracts students from across Australia and overseas.

During my working life, formerly as Supreme Court Judge and currently as President of the Mental Health Tribunal, it has been my pleasure to mentor and help students not only in their studies but also in helping them to make career and academic decisions. I have also enjoyed being able to offer students advice on the practice of law, careers opportunities available in the legal profession and the wider world. For me personally, it has been wonderful here at Southern Cross University to combine my interests in law and the surf.

About Summer Law School

The School of Law and Justice offers the Summer Law School every year, with face- to-face intensive classes and/or workshops running during November and December. This exciting and academically rigorous program is located at arguably one of the most beautiful locations in the world, Byron Bay, NSW.

The Summer Law School offers a range of niche and non-mainstream subjects delivered by School of Law and Justice Lecturers and a variety of distinguished Australian and international guest presenters. Students can choose up to two units based on their interests and the study load they wish to undertake during the summer.

Summer School is ideal for students, lawyers, industry professionals, senior bureaucrats and those requiring knowledge and understanding from the units on offer. Cross-institutional, non-award and international students are particularly welcome. Legal practitioners may be eligible for MCLE/CLE points.
