School of Law
Faculty of Business and Law
All LLB students must undertake professional work experience placements in a law related field over the duration of their course (and prior to completion). It is not possible to graduate without having satisfied this requirement. In line with University policy, before starting your Professional Experience at your host organisation you are required to obtain approval from the School of Law.
From 1 January 2008 students are required to download the Professional Experience Kit, follow the steps to complete and return the documents. Combined degree and 4 year LLB degree students must undertake 30 days unless otherwise specified. MLL351 Law Clinic counts for 10 days towards the professional work experience component of the course. A student editor for the Deakin Law Review for one year counts for 10 days towards the professional work experience component of the course. As a general rule, students are required to find their own professional experience placements. However, the School of Law does coordinate a small placement scheme.
