About School of Law

Our vision

Educating legal leaders who advance justice and shape policy globally. 

We educate outstanding legal professionals and conduct research that shapes policy and advances justice. Our graduates lead in practice, government, and the judiciary across Australia and internationally. 

We deliver exceptional legal education that prepares students for distinguished careers in practice, government and the judiciary. Our undergraduate and postgraduate programs combine rigorous academic training with practical experience through our Clinical Legal Education Program, where students assist real clients under professional supervision.

Our research shapes policy and advances justice. We host the South Australian Law Reform Institute, lead international projects including the Woomera Manual on military space law, and publish the Adelaide Law Review. Through strong connections with the profession, judiciary and government—locally, nationally and internationally — we ensure our education and research create meaningful impact.
