The LPAB administers various functions associated with the admission of legal practitioners in New South Wales. Once admitted as a legal practitioner, a person may apply to the Law Society of NSW or the Bar Association of NSW for a practising certificate as either a solicitor or barrister.

The LPAB administers its examinations and deals with all applications relating to them, to credit, and to admission. For current information in relation to the LPAB examinations, enrolment procedures, and progression, tuition and exclusion rule applications, please see the Diploma in Law Course Information Handbook and the LPAB website.
