WELCOME
TO THE LAW EXTENSION COMMITTEE
The
Law Extension Committee was established by the Senate of the University
of Sydney in 1964 and has been teaching for over 40 years.
The Committee's function is to provide legal education for students
undertaking the NSW Legal Profession Admission Board Diploma in Law examinations.
The
Committee is appointed by the University Senate and comprises members
and nominees proposed by the University, the Chief Justice of New
South Wales, The NSW Bar Association and Law Society, and the Faculty
of Law. Lectures
are given by practitioners and university teachers. Weekend Schools
are offered each semester for external students.
The
aim of the Committee is to provide affordable and accessible legal
education in support of the Board's Diploma in Law course. The program
is not able to offer all the services and individual attention of
a comprehensive campus, however through our webcampus we endeavour
to provide additional support and materials to aid students in their
studies. This course requires students to manage their time efficiently
to meet all requirements and to be able to work independently. There
is a strong orientation towards education for legal practice.
Prospective
students should visit the future
students section for more information about the Diploma
in Law program and visit the LPAB website for information on how to register as a Student-at-Law.
LEC
WEBCAMPUS
The
Law Extension Committee has expanded all of our WEBCAMPUS facilities
and all students enrolled in the course are given access to online
registration, change of details, subject guides, notes and supplementary
materials, subject discussion forum, secure assignment lodgement and receipting,
assignment processing and results screen. This facility is constantly
growing as we expand our services.

REMINDER: COMPULSORY ASSIGNMENTS ACROSS THE CURRICULUM
The May 2009 Session brings compulsory assignments to all subjects. This is a development that has been foreshadowed and discussed for some time. There are very strong educational reasons supporting the introduction of compulsory assignments across the curriculum, and it is anticipated that from 2010 assignment marks will count towards the examination mark.
For the May 2009 Session, assignment requirements for subjects 1-12 will not change.
For subjects 13-25, it will be necessary to submit an assignment of a satisfactory standard in order to be eligible to sit for the exam in that subject.
More details are contained in Subject Guides, Assignment Questions and the Guide to the Presentation and Submission of Assignments (available on the Webcampus). Please make a careful note of these due dates. |
