In-house Practice
Master of Applied Law (In-house Practice)
This masters of law course, unlike an LLM, focuses on the practical legal and commercial realities of being an in-house lawyer. It has been developed in consultation with the Australian Corporate Lawyers Association (ACLA) to assist you to become a more effective in-house lawyer or help you make the transition to an in-house role, and is designed to suit the needs of both corporate and government in-house lawyers.
