Take your first step into a career in legal practice.
The Diploma in Law from the NSW Legal Profession Admission Board (LPAB), and taught by the University of Sydney’s Law Extension Committee (LEC), is a four-year part-time law course that fulfils the educational requirements to be admitted as a lawyer in NSW. It offers everything you would expect from a law degree from any of the country’s best educational institutions – the standard of teaching, subjects and career path are the same, yet it is available to a wider range of students who may not have taken a traditional path towards studying law.
