If you have completed at least three years (or equivalent) of your LLB,
JD or equivalent,
you may be eligible to enrol concurrently in the Graduate Diploma in Legal
Practice.
Benefits of Concurrent Enrolment:
- Your understanding of how the law works will be enhanced by studying practice
alongside substantive law.
- If you work at least one day a week in a legal environment you may be
eligible to have your work credited towards the
Legal Practice Experience
requirement for the GDLP.
- Future employers may find you more attractive as an employee if you have
completed some practical courses whilst completing your law studies.
- After completing the Becoming a Practitioner Workshop you can:
- apply to undertake LPE in the Legal Workshop's
Legal Aid Clinical Program
in
Canberra, or
- submit an expression of interest to undertake LPE with a
regional, rural or remote
Community Legal Centre as a part of Legal Workshop's project with the
National Association of Community Legal Centres.

Approval for Concurrent Enrolment
Students must consider their overall workload and personal commitments in
determining whether it is appropriate to apply for concurrent enrolment.
ANU Legal Workshop requires students to obtain permission to concurrently enrol
from the institution at which they are completing their law studies.
ANU law students should complete and submit the
application
form
to
the Sub-Dean, ANU College of Law.
Students from other universities must provide a letter from their Sub
Dean or equivalent indicating that there is no objection to applying for concurrent
enrolment in the GDLP. ANU Legal Workshop will not process an application
until this written approval has been received.
