Australian Constitutional Law - Online Course
Getting admitted in Australia
In an increasingly global environment, lawyers with a dual qualification are able to offer a more competitive and useful service to clients.
As a qualified overseas lawyer you may be eligible to seek admission in one of the Australian state jurisdictions, and then be admitted to practice in other states through the Australian mutual recognition provisions.
Most Australian jurisdictions require lawyers to meet both academic and practical requirements for admission to practice. These academic requirements can vary from state to state, and depend on your qualifications and how long you have been admitted to practise in your home jurisdiction. But typically, many overseas lawyers will need to complete a course in Australian Constitutional Law.
NOTE: A new set of Uniform Principles for assessing the qualifications of overseas applicants has been proposed. In NSW these guidelines are in place from 7th April 2008. See the LPAB site for more details.
STOP PRESS: As a result of the new Uniform Principles until further notice the College Alliance will not accept enrolments in the current course after 1st May 2008.
