This is a foundational subject in the Melbourne Law Masters (MLM) which is compulsory for graduates of disciplines other than law and for law graduates from countries with a non-common law system. It provides students with an opportunity to acquire the foundational legal skills necessary for studying and working in a common law system, such as that in Australia.
这是墨尔本法律硕士 （MLM） 的基础科目，对于法律以外的学科毕业生和非普通法体系国家的法律毕业生来说，这是必修课。它为学生提供了一个机会，以获得在普通法体系中学习和工作所需的基本法律技能，例如在澳大利亚的体系。
The common law forms one of the two principal systems of Western law that, through colonisation, have spread throughout the world. Common law systems have a distinctive approach to understanding the sources of law, the role of law-making institutions, and processes for resolving disputes. These characteristics of the common law system have had a profound effect on the development not only of the societies in the countries in which it applied, but also on international law and practice.
普通法是西方法律的两个主要体系之一，通过殖民化，它已经传播到世界各地。英美法系在理解法律渊源、立法机构的作用以及解决争端的程序方面有着独特的方法。英美法系的这些特点不仅对普通法系适用国的社会发展产生了深远的影响，而且也对国际法和实践产生了深远的影响。
The aim of this subject is to acquire basic foundational legal skills that will assist you with other subjects in the MLM program. The subject teaches students how to read, use and interpret reported cases and legislation. The subject explains the sources of law, what influences them, and how they influence the development of the common law. These aims are given in context of some contemporary debates on common law reasoning by assessing the role of the High Court of Australia. The subject focuses on developing skills in analysis and legal writing, the tools of the common lawyer.
