College of Law

[EduCativ]

The College of Law is the school of professional practice for lawyers in Australia and New Zealand. We are also the largest provider of practice-focused legal education in Australasia. Our mission is to enhance the careers of legal professionals across Australasia by delivering innovative, practice-focused legal education and training.

The College of Law has been at the forefront of practical legal education since 1974. More than 60,000 of our graduates work across all facets of the industry – and we are one of the most trusted names in legal training in Australia and New Zealand. But what sets us apart is our focus on the practical side of law and the actual relevance of our training.

With over 400 staff across Australia and New Zealand – most of whom are practicing lawyers – we work from the profession for the profession. We also engage a range of legal professionals (including judges, barristers, solicitors, and in-house counsels) to contribute to the College. We are also a few non-universities to achieve status as a Self-Accrediting Authority from the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency.

The College of Law occupies a unique place in the legal profession. Today, most lawyers in Australia and New Zealand start their careers with us, undertaking their practical legal training to prepare for admission to practice. We then support lawyers in their careers through continuing professional development and postgraduate programs such as our LLM in Applied Law. We aim to help people succeed as lawyers whatever role they choose to pursue. We want our graduates to be the best they possibly can be and to thrive in the profession. As the legal profession continues to develop, we aim to assist in the transition and offer support at every stage of a lawyer's career.

From its beginnings as a single operation in New South Wales, the College now operates in several Australasia locations. Most recently, the College has established an office in Kuala Lumpur. The College has committed to the profession in each of its jurisdictions by operating from permanent premises in most significant centers while offering programs from regional centers where this is a need.
