Constitutional Law
Undergraduate
Undergraduate
While studying Constitutional Law, students will examine key aspects of the Commonwealth Constitution and its judicial interpretation by the High Court. This course builds on students’ previous public law knowledge to examine the organisational structure, source and limits of Commonwealth and State powers, and the relationship between the three branches of government at both levels of government. Particular attention will be given to constitutional principles and foundations, the historical development of High Court decisions relating to the operation of the legislature, executive; immunities each branch of government enjoys against interference from the others, the nature of judicial review, as well as express and implied rights’ jurisprudence.
