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

* 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.
