Degree Planning A comprehensive overview of the different law degree progressions to help you plan ahead. Study and Professional Experiences Discover the opportunities offered at USYD Law from exchange to international volunteering. Acknowledgments We acknowledge the traditional Aboriginal owners of the land that the University of Sydney is built upon, the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation. We acknowledge that this was and always will be Aboriginal Land and are proud to be on the lands of one of the oldest surviving cultures in existence. We respect the knowledge that traditional elders and Aboriginal people hold and pass on from generation to generation, and acknowledge the continuous fight for constitutional reform and treaty recognition to this day. We regret that white supremacy has been used to justify Indigenous dispossession, colonial rule and violence in the past, in particular, a legal and political system that still to this date doesn’t provide Aboriginal people with justice. Many thanks to everyone who made the production and publication of the 2020 Sydney University Law Society Education Guide possible. In particular, we would like to thank Rita Shackel (Associate Dean of Education), the Sydney Law School and the University of Sydney Union for their continued support of SULS and its publications.

  • Passages in the Law
    Passages in the Law Brian Tamberlin, QC Deputy President Administrative Appeals Tribunal Talk at the office of Carroll and O’Dea 12 February 2013 1 Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. One bonus of being asked to speak today was the opportunity to get better acquainted with the history of the firm through the prism of your centenary publication “The Vision Splendid”. It sets out the history and culture of the firm over most of the last one hundred and fifteen years of it’s existence. Many of the anecdotes resonate with my fond recollections of the personalities referred to such as Clive Evatt, Frank McAlary, Barry Mahoney, Ray Loveday and Paul Flannery. Over the past fifty years inevitably I have come across many members of the firm. My most continuous acquaintance has been with Michael O’Dea whom I first met in 1965 and who in 1968 succeeded me as an alderman of North Sydney Council of which he later became Lord Mayor. I admire the culture and vision of the firm and its engagement with the community especially through its extensive pro-bono program. Not the least of its achievements is keeping its name and identity, as well is its strongly personal culture in the present environment of law firm mergers, which, by change of name and often of culture, tend to become anonymous commercial entities abandoning a valuable part of their identity and esteem. The name Carroll and O’Dea has a personal ring rather than those global operations with names such as Linklaters, Ashurst or Quality Solicitors.
