Description
The Postgraduate Diploma of Legal Practice, also known as Professional Legal Training (PLT), is the link between your degree and becoming a practising lawyer. Bond Law’s PLT program is a coursework degree that provides structured and supervised legal training, based on the Competency Standards for entry level lawyers developed by the admitting authorities and the Australian Professional Legal Education Council.
Professional Outcomes
Successful completion of the Postgraduate Diploma of Legal Practice will enable you to apply for admission to legal practice. Students should contact the relevant admitting authority to ascertain the requirements for admission in that State or Territory. Mutual recognition legislation also facilitates the process of practitioners admitted in one state seeking to practise in other Australian jurisdictions.
Further Studies
In addition to applying for admission, upon completion of the PLT program, students have the option of continuing their studies to obtain a Master of Laws (Legal Practice). Graduates may receive up to 35 credit points towards a Master of Laws (Legal Practice) degree.
