About Legal Practice, GradCert - at Murdoch University

This course is the next step to becoming a practicing lawyer, after you have successfully completed your Bachelor of Laws (LLB). This course is the practical component needed to complete your Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice.

You can get experience in any or all of our practice areas, including human rights, family, Aboriginal or generalist law. You'll take on varied legal work under the supervision of our solicitors as you interview clients, complete legal research, formulate and give advice and get experience in law reform and policy work.

You'll work on real cases and be responsible for all aspects of your client's case, under qualified supervision. Your experience will then be reviewed to help you learn the essential skills of reflecting on and evaluating your own legal work and the legal work performed by others.

We have Semester 1 and 2 in-take for this course - but places are strictly limited. To apply, you need to have completed Clinical Legal Education units throughout your degree. You'll need to attend the SCALES clinic two days a week, for 20 weeks to complete two practice-based units which are 6 points each, with a total of 12 points to complete the Graduate Certificate.
