Becoming a Lawyer

The Melbourne JD is the only degree offered by Melbourne Law School that leads to admission to the legal profession in all Australian jurisdictions, and can be used as a basis for seeking admission in many law jurisdictions overseas.
Upon completion of your Melbourne JD, you will need to complete your traineeship in order to practise as a lawyer.
