Private Law
Melbourne Law School’s specialisation in private law offers students an opportunity to develop a deep understanding of core areas of law that are fundamentally important to commercial practice.
The subjects cover current issues and developments in areas that are vitally important to lawyers involved in commercial litigation and commercial transactions, including contract law, the law of torts, equity, restitution, trusts and remedies.
The field of private law is concerned with the rights and obligations that lie at the heart of commercial transactions and commercial litigation.
