The Postgraduate Diploma in Legal Practice, Skills and Ethics is designed to cover the main fields of practice, skills and ethics through a combination of clinical and other methods. On completion, graduates may satisfy the post-degree practical requirements for admission to legal practice in Victoria. They will have to complete six months employment as an employee practitioner before qualifying for a full practising certificate.*
The diploma is organised around nine sequential coursework units allocated
to practice fields, together with the clinical unit which runs for the full
21-week duration of the course.
To be eligible for selection to this course, applicants will normally have
qualified for the degree of Bachelor of Laws or equivalent at either Monash
University or another university.
* While Monash Faculty of Law may recognise qualifications for entry to the
PDLP course, it is the Council of Legal Education which determines whether
particular tertiary qualifications will satisfy the rules for the purpose of
admission to practice. Therefore, all applicants intending to qualify to
practice should check that their tertiary qualifications comply with these
rules prior to commencement of the course.
