VICTORIAN LEGAL ADMISSIONS BOARD
The Supreme Court of Victoria has indefinitely adjourned all in-person applications for admission to the Australian legal profession in light of COVID-19.
A process has been developed to allow admissions to occur ‘on the papers’ by order of the Chief Justice.
You will receive an email confirming your eligibility for a compliance certificate when your application is complete, and your fee payment has been received by VLAB.
NEXT ADMISSION DATE
Applications must be completed and payment received by VLAB by Wednesday 23 June 2021.
Compliance certificates will be issued on Monday 28 June 2021.
Compliance certificates and further instructions will be emailed within 2 days of the issue of the compliance certificate.
Return date for affidavits to the Supreme Court must be received by Wednesday 7 July 2021.
Admissions on the papers is expected to take place in July 2021.
