 Be part of a community
Tim Rankin, Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of Laws student
The best aspect of studying law at Monash is the community. Asthe Faculty of Law is small, students get to know most of their peers very quickly. Law students are also lucky enough to have the LSS run social events almost every other week, as well as a swathe of other events, before which really capitalise on the community aspect of studying law at Monash. While at Monash, I strongly suggest to get involved. Gettinginvolved in extra activities will greatly improve your experience. It comes down to things as simple as knowing half the people you walk past in the law library, or being able to stop and grab a coffee andchat when your studies are getting the better of you.

International reputation
Giselle Tham, Bachelor of Laws student
As a Singaporean student considering pursuing a law degree overseas, it left an impression when Monash University often popped up in conversations with legal professionals from whom Isought advice. Not only are there Monash graduates now holding prominent positions in the Singapore legal circle, it was also clear that this was a university highly regarded and well recognised both within and outside the industry. Since entering law school in Monash University, I have experienced first hand the excellent quality of teaching and vibrant student life that was so highly spoken of. Lecturers havean infectious passion for their subject matter, and their desire to see students do well is obvious. The Law Students Society has also been a significant part of my positive experience at Monash. The Societys activities range from social events, such as the Annual Law Ball, to academic support in the form of peer mentor programs and student tutorial programs, as well as legal competitions like moots and client interviews. Asan international student in a new environment, I was grateful for the social and academic support that eased my transition into university and life in Melbourne. It was also a significant moment when I donned a blazer and appeared before a judge in my first ever mock trial (the First Year Moot Competition).
