USQ School of Law, Justice marks 10 years
UNIVERSITY of Southern Queensland School of Law and Justice graduates are taught to be independent thinkers and effective problem solvers who can adapt to an ever-changing world, according to USQ Chancellor John Dornbusch.
He said since the school opened on May 9, 2007, the School of Law and Justice had developed an “enviable” reputation as a leading educator whose graduates had the expertise, knowledge and understandings to shape and influence those around them.
“The incredible support given to the school by our region’s legal practitioners has helped develop some the best teaching spaces in Queensland,” he said.
The Governor of Queensland, Paul de Jersey AC, joined the 10th anniversary celebrations of the School of Law on May 11.
USQ Chancellor John Dornbusch, Vice-Chancellor Professor Janet Verbyla, Head of School of Law and Justice Professor Reid Mortensen, and USQ Law Society President Mr Ryan McCullogh joined the governor to mark the occasion.
USQ has more than 1500 law students currently enrolled both on campus and online, studying at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
This year, the USQ School of Law and Justice was one of the first group of Australian law schools to receive certification from the new Australian Law Schools Standards Committee.
“There is no doubt the School has accomplished some remarkable achievements but it has always been its students in which it has been most
proud,” Mr Dornbusch said. Learn more at
