The LPAB exemptions consist of two stages:
- Assessment of Academic Studies
- Assessment of Practical Legal Training
Assessment of Academic Studies
Your academic studies must be assessed, before you apply for admission, if you:
• completed the academic requirements for admission in a foreign jurisdiction (outside Australia) at any time, or
• completed an accredited Australian law course more than 5 years before applying for admission in NSW, or
• have undertaken some tertiary academic studies in law, either in Australia or in a foreign jurisdiction, but have not completed the requirements for the award of a qualification.
Assessment of Practical Legal Training
If you have completed the practical legal training requirements for admission and been admitted in a foreign jurisdiction (outside Australia), you will need to apply to the LPAB’s Practical Training Exemptions Sub-Committee for an assessment of your training and experience against the PLT prerequisite.
This involves an assessment of whether such
training and experience has provided you with competence in each element of the Skills, Practice Areas and Values that are set out in Schedule 2 of the Legal Profession Uniform
Admission Rules 2015.
