The specialist curriculum content will be taught either by Deakin Law staff or expert academics at the host institution. In addition, local practitioners - judge, lawyers, prosecutors, criminal justice personnel - will provide insights into the practical workings of the criminal justice system. Students will make site visits which make include visits to courts, prisons and iconic legal landmarks.
