Badung, FLUNUD.ac.id - - The Legal English class of the Faculty of Law, Udayana University (FH Unud) presented a Lawyer from Sydney-Australia, Benjamin Brian Halliwel who is the Principal of Jabilu Law Firm to fill lectures at the FH Unud Bukit Jimbaran campus on Wednesday (23/10/2022). On this occasion, he conveyed the importance of understanding Legal English for students to be able to enter and compete in the world of work at the global level.

Prof. Benjamin was accompanied by several lecturers teaching Legal English courses at FH Unud: Prof. Dr. Ni Ketut Supasti Dharmawan, SH, MHum, LLM, I Made Budi Arsika, SH, LLM, Tjokorda Istri Diah Widyantari Pradnya Dewi, S.H., M.H., and Putu Aras Samsithawrati, SH, LLM. One of the topics of the Legal English Course is themed Two Major Legal Systems in the World. So, in addition to conveying how important it is to understand Legal English for Faculty of Law students, on that occasion he also delivered real cases in Australia, especially those related to business law in accordance with his expertise, which were used as examples to explain the topics discussed. Thus the students of the Faculty of Law of Udayana University get real knowledge about Legal English and its application in Australia directly by the expert. The nuance of effective two-way learning was also felt with questions asked by students to Benjamin during the lecture session. 

This good opportunity to collaborate in the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, especially the realm of education through lectures by foreign lawyers, adds to the internationalization indicators of FH Unud. Collaboration with him is also actually continuously seen through his involvement as part of the editorial assistant team in the FH Unud journal, namely: Udayana Journal of Law and Culture which is currently included as one of the SCOPUS journals. Of course in the future internationalization like this really needs to be maintained, developed and strengthened for the progress of FH Unud.
