The KLC component of Foundations Enrichment 2 (FE2) fits with your other law courses in that it demonstrates law in practice and the specific ways in which it impacts on disadvantaged clients. Law is a subjective, constantly changing area and this course will give you the opportunity to explore some of the ways in which law is used in the legal aid system to assist people who are disadvantaged.

The Torts component of FE2 complements LAWS1061 – Torts. FE2 builds on and extends the Indigenous Pre-law Program. It involves small group tutoring to develop problem-solving, case reading, statutory interpretation and legal writing skills. It also seeks to develop critical and analytical skills particularly in relation to the role of Tort law. FE2 provides targeted academic support, closely tied to the first year LLB program and related assessment.
