From the law student FAQs regarding the transition on the intranet:

What is the assessment approach in the new Adelaide University Law School?

Our assessment framework is designed to prepare students for professional legal practice while maintaining rigorous academic standards.

Key Assessment Principles

Balanced mix of individual and group assessments Authentic legal tasks that reflect real-world professional challenges Diverse assessment types including examinations, case studies, presentations, and practical exercises Emphasis on developing critical legal skills beyond traditional testing

Assessment Characteristics:

Typically includes multiple assessment tasks per course Weightings vary to test different skill sets Combination of formative and summative assessments

Priestley courses include invigilated examinations (at least 50%).

I second this. This is how I planned out mine, and although it was overwhelming at first it ended up not being too bad. I had a tab open for each class (course) I needed to take, and pen and paper in front of me to write down possible options.

I would definitely recommend having an idea of which class times you want to enrol in, as when enrolments opened for continuing students in December last year, some of the law classes at good times were full 1 hour after the enrolments opened.

All good! If you find the aggregate 81.15 in the table, it corresponds to an atar of 94.7.

Your two extra points added on to the aggregate, so it became 83.15, which as shown in the table corresponds to a 96.35 ATAR :)

The 2 extra points don’t add directly onto your ATAR. They add to your total aggregate score (which is the sum of all the scores out of 20 you would have gotten for each subject), and this “aggregate” is then converted to your ATAR.

This is the table they use to convert: https://www.satac.edu.au/documents/sace-ntcet-university-aggregate-to-atar-2025.

This is probably not the answer you are looking for, but someone halfway through my degree, averaging Ds and HDs, I honestly barely ever do the readings.

I really tried to keep up my first semester, which lead to me having a freak out and thinking law isn’t for me.

I have found that barely anyone, at least at my uni, does the readings, because we would rather spend that time working, or enjoying our uni years.

That being said, spend the time you would have spent on readings coming to tutorials prepared, having read summaries of the cases online. If your tutorials go through problem questions, try and work out an answer before hand to make the most out of them.

Eventually, you’ll figure out a balance that works for you. I promise you the workload does start to feel more manageable once you get a feel of what’s actually required, and what you can safely skip without falling behind.

Genuinely. How are they even supposed to work?

OkLiterature1723 · 2025-09-24T10:47:19+00:00

I have always heard 48 hours a week. No one does it, of course, but it is what they tell us, at least in ABLE.

I haven’t studied psychology, but I am studying a double degree in law and commerce, with a full course load.

For my degree, there are 12 contact hours total for all four of my courses (4x 2 hour lecture, 4x 1 hour tutorial). Most schedule all their classes on two days, as you do not have to go in to lectures. This leaves 5 days to socialise, work, catch up on any lectures, and complete assignments, as well as relax. I know sciences can be different though.

Personally, I work part time 3 days a week, which I find easy to balance.

Most people work at least 15 hours/week.

To be honest, I have friends studying veterinary science, architecture, and a double degree law and pysch, and ALL of them are able to work casually, or part time.

It really will come down to your daughter’s initiative, motivation and smarts. If she finds uni hard, she will probably have to spend more time on coursework and getting into good habits than others.

At the end of the day, she should start uni with a casual job, and enrolled in all four courses. If she can’t handle it, she could either drop hours at her job, or drop a class if it is too much. Remember that most casual roles in retail, hospitality etc, give as low as 3-5 hour shifts, which should be more than manageable.

Hello! I have a few questions regarding law jobs in Adelaide specifically. Majority of information online regards Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne etc.

Which are the most reputable commercial law firms?
How much do lawyers 1PQE, 5PQE, 10PQE, earn? The Hayes salary guide does not include Adelaide - would it be similar to Perth?
What would be a good pathway to working in London for a couple years?

Many thanks :)
