The program is made up of two components; a 3.5-week full-time intensive pre-law program delivered on-campus at Darwin Waterfront, and an ongoing individual and group mentoring component. Intensive pre-law component: The CDU First Nations pre-law intensive provides a pathway into to the CDU Bachelor of Laws program, with the potential to commence law studies immediately after completion of the pre-law program. Delivered by a dedicated facilitator with both professional legal expertise and experience in delivering training and education to First Nations learners, the delivery and materials are tailored to meet the learning styles and needs of First Nations learners. In addition to the skills learnt during the pre-law program, it also assists you to be successful in your law studies by making you familiar and comfortable with the law environment and expectations for study. The relationships built with other pre-law students and lecturers will mean that you will have a support network from the very first day of law studies. Residential options are available if you do not have accommodation available in Darwin. Candidates do not pay tuition or accommodation fees for the intensive component of the program. Individual and group mentoring: In the second component of the program, CDU provides a mentor who actively supports the First Nations law students through to successful completion of their law degree. The mentor works with both individuals and with the group as a whole, fostering peer-to-peer support and learning. FIRST NATIONS PRE-LAW PROGRAM
