Curriculum
Rule 53 of the Legal Profession Admission Rules sets out the subjects making up the Diploma in Law Curriculum. The Board's curriculum is incorporated in the subject guide for each subject on the Law Extension Committee website.
A Student who has passed all subjects in Group A and three subjects from Group B is eligible for the award of the Diploma in Law and has satisfied the academic requirements for admission as a Lawyer of the Supreme Court of New South Wales. Their position with respect to eligibility for admission is exactly the same as that of a person with an accredited law degree from a New South Wales university.
Please note that a student-at-law is not entitled to receive the Diploma if he or she has sat and passed fewer than half of the Board's examinations.
In addition to completing the Board's examinations or an accredited law degree, a person who wishes to be admitted as a lawyer must complete a course of practical legal training (PLT) and satisfy English language proficiency requirements, if applicable, before applying for admission.
