Description

This subject covers the skills, practice areas and values required of a law student to be admitted to practise law as prescribed by the 'competency standards' set out in the Second Schedule to the Legal Profession Uniform Admission Rules 2015. The subject assumes an understanding of disciplinary knowledge taught in core law subjects in a relevant degree. Students learn and practise the application of this knowledge through the development of skills and reflection in preparation for professional practice as an entry-level lawyer.

This subject is undertaken by students who enrol in stream B of the PLT Program. It is a work-integrated subject complemented by the three other PLT subjects – 75424 Skills and Wills Practice, 75422 Property and Commercial Practice and 75423 Litigation Practice. Students enrolled in stream B of the PLT Program take 75425 Lawyers in Practice as a co-requisite.

This subject enables students to bring together the knowledge of legal practice gained in the complementary PLT subjects and to apply their learning in a legal workplace.

Students undertake a minimum of 4 weeks of full-time or equivalent part-time work experience in a legal office environment. This is a zero-credit-point subject that is graded pass/fail. Grading is based on supervisors' reports as to the competency of students' practice in their workplaces. To be competent, students must achieve the standard of an entry-level lawyer.

Students may enrol in this subject when they enrol in 75424 Skills and Wills Practice. Practical Experience - 20 Days must be approved by the Practical Experience Committee and be in accordance with the Practical Experience Rules, as detailed on the Practical Experience Website.
