WELCOME TO THE LAW EXTENSION COMMITTEE

The Law Extension Committee was established by the Senate of the University of Sydney in 1964 and has been teaching for over 40 years. The Committee's function is to provide legal education for students undertaking the NSW Legal Profession Admission Board Diploma in Law examinations.

The Committee is appointed by the University Senate and comprises members and nominees proposed by the University, the Chief Justice of New South Wales, The NSW Bar Association and Law Society, and the Faculty of Law. Lectures are given by practitioners and university teachers. Weekend Schools are offered each semester for external students.

The aim of the Committee is to provide affordable and accessible legal education in support of the Board's Diploma in Law course. The program is not able to offer all the services and individual attention of a comprehensive campus, however through our webcampus we endeavour to provide additional support and materials to aid students in their studies. This course requires students to manage their time efficiently to meet all requirements and to be able to work independently. There is a strong orientation towards education for legal practice.

Prospective students should visit the future students section for more information about the Diploma in Law program and visit the LPAB website for information on how to register as a Student-at-Law.

LEC WEBCAMPUS

The Law Extension Committee has expanded all of its WEBCAMPUS facilities and all students enrolled in the course are given access to online registration, change of details, subject guides, notes and supplementary materials, subject discussion forum, secure assignment lodgement and receipting, assignment processing and results screen. This facility is constantly growing as we expand our services.

LEC ONLINE REGISTRATION - PLEASE REGISTER NOW

Would all students who are enrolling this semester with the LPAB, please register with the LEC without delay, even if they have applications outstanding with the LPAB.

Please do not delay registration with the LEC. This is particularly important for students taking electives, as we need an indication of class size in the subjects with small numbers of students.

If you are a Overseas Practitioner or Legal Institutions student, early registration also ensures that you are allocated to one of the Computer Research Sessions. Spaces at these Research Sessions are limited.


LEC WEBCAMPUS ACCESS

Students please take note that once you have registered online with the LEC, you should have full Webcampus access after 6pm that evening if you have registered during the day up to 4pm, or after 10am the following morning if you registered after 4pm.

For any online registrations completed after 4pm on Friday afternoon and over the weekend, please note that you will not have Webcampus access until Monday morning

If you are experiencing any problems with logging on, registering online or access to the Webcampus, please email the LEC with your Student Number, Full Name and a brief explanation of the issue you are experiencing.
