Features of the Course
-
For the purposes of admission to the legal profession, the DIPLOMA IN LAW is equivalent to a law degree. The course has a practical orientation and emphasis in the course is on preparation for practice. Many lawyers practising in NSW and other jurisdictions in Australia have gained their qualification this way.
-
Examinations are conducted by the LPAB in March and September in Sydney, Parramatta, Canberra, Albury, Dubbo, Broken Hill, Newcastle, Armidale and Lismore.
-
While most students have university or other tertiary qualifications, the entry categories are flexible. Approximately 10% of students enter through the HSC, and special provision is made for those who are or have been police officers, nurses or paralegals.
The
Law Extension Committee (LEC) was established by the Senate of the University
of Sydney in 1964.
The LEC's function is to provide legal education for students
undertaking the NSW LPAB Diploma in Law examinations.
The
LEC 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 LEC is to provide affordable and accessible legal
education in support of the LPAB 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
LEC 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.
