Approved academic qualifications
4 Approved academic qualifications
For section 10(1) of the Act, the approved academic qualifications for admission is the completion of a tertiary academic course in Australia, whether or not leading to a degree in law, that:
includes the equivalent of at least 3 years full-time study of law; and
subject to subrule (2), requires a satisfactory level of knowledge and understanding of the areas of knowledge specified in
Schedule 3.
If a local applicant has completed a tertiary academic course in
Australia that does not include the study of ethics and professional responsibility, the applicant need not acquire a satisfactory level of knowledge and understanding of that area of knowledge but must do so when completing the practical requirement for admission.
