About Griffith Law School

Established in 1992 with just 75 students and 5 staff,[4] Griffith Law School was opened by former Governor-General of Australia, Sir Ninian Stephen on 24 February 1992.[5]

Griffith Law School offers a range of undergraduate degrees including double degrees, postgraduate degrees and higher degrees by research.[6]

Griffith Law School helped pioneer clinical legal education in Queensland, which gives law students the opportunity to practice their legal skills on real legal matters, under supervision from legal practitioners. One of the most notable legal clinics offered is the Innocence Project, a pro bono clinic where students and lawyers work to free innocent persons who have been wrongly convicted in Australia.[7]

Griffith Law School publishes three research journals:[8] Australian Feminist Law Journal,[9] Griffith Law Review[10] and the student run Griffith Journal of Law and Human Dignity.[11]

Griffith Law School competes in the Phillip C Jessup Moot Court Competition[12] and the Willem C Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot. Griffith students have participated in extracurricular moot competitions and found success in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal's Negotiating Outcomes on Time,[13] QUT Torts Moot,[14] Michael Kirby Contract Law Moot[15] and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Moot.[16]
