Since its establishment in 1972, Leo Cussen Centre for Law has been and continues to be recognised as a centre of excellence for practical legal training and continuing professional development for entry-level lawyers through to senior legal practitioners.
Our purpose is to provide high quality education, training and professional development to strengthen and support the administration of justice and the legal system.
Leo Cussen provides Practical Legal Training (PLT) and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for lawyers, as well as traineeship programs for entry-level lawyers employed by law firms; training for overseas lawyers seeking admission to the Australian legal profession; and for lawyers needing to requalify, as well as courses for legal support staff.
The school's visa assessment level determines the risk level for students applying for a visa and is a significant reference.
For example, if a school's visa assessment level is 2, the applicant will face more restrictions and be required to provide more written evidence, such as proof of language proficiency and financial capacity.
