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.
Further details about this course can be obtained from the faculty's website at

* 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.
