PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION

Our Bachelor of Laws is accredited by the Legal Practitioners' Education and Admission Council in South Australia; and provides the academic foundation for admission to legal practice throughout Australia.

To be admitted to practice in Australia, however, you must complete further practical legal training.

In South Australia, we—the University of Adelaide—together with the Law Society of South Australia, provide this additional training through our Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice . But if you intend to seek admission to practice elsewhere, you should seek advice from the admitting authority in the relevant jurisdiction.

Upon graduation from the Bachelor of Laws and completion of the Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice, you'll be eligible to be admitted to the Supreme Court of South Australia (with a restricted practicing certificate). Once admitted, you can then apply for admission in any other Australian jurisdiction.
