Juris Doctor and Legal Practice (3 years full time)
Designed for university graduates, Newcastle Law School’s Juris Doctor (JD) and the embedded Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice (GDLP) will not only open doors to employment as a lawyer, but will also provide you with professional skills and attributes that are in high demand in other industries and professions.
At most other law schools, after you finish your JD you must then undertake practical legal training and arrange supervised legal workplace experience before you can apply for admission to be a lawyer in Australia. As part of our embedded GDLP however, we provide the requisite practical legal training experience and we also guarantee to arrange the required external supervised workplace placement for you. This means you can be ready to practise law after three years of full-time study, with no need for further supervision or training before you start your legal career.
The JD/GDLP is not only accredited in Australia; with some further study, it can help qualify you to practise law in a number ofother common law countries, including Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
