Wal's Legacy: QUT's Practical Legal Training Course
Abstract
QUT's Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice (the Course) was set up in 1978 at the request of the Queensland Law Society. Over 700 aspiring solicitors have completed the Course over the past 20 years, most going on to practise law in the private legal profession. The Course leads to an award of a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice (GradDipLegalPrac) by the University and it satisfies the practical training requirement for admission as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of Queensland under the Rules Relating to the Admission of Solicitors of the Supreme Court of Queensland. The Course provides practical legal training in an institutional clinical setting as an alternative to the 'on the job' training provided by articles of clerkship, which is still the most common means of practical training in Queensland. Four times as many students enter articles as enter the Course each year.
