Practical Legal Training question (1 Viewer)

[DeVenne]

Is it possible to gain employment in a law firm, and obtain PLT while I work? Earn money and do PLT at the same time?

My PLT is built in to the degree. I have one PLT subject left over in the last semester, so it would be very advantageous to gain a job and complete the PLT requirements simultaneously. Are there any problems with this?

Available information about PLT is rather limited...

Thanks

if you have one subject left, i don't see how it clashes with full-time employment.

you might want to check with your law faculty on timetabling issues and negotiate with your employer on study leave, if necessary.

No problem.

PLT is what you make it. It can be as tough as a 9-7 Solicitor gig or as easy as a cashier at coles. Id choose the former tough, 'cause you're inevitably going to screw up and when you do, its bettter to be a PLT trainee rather than making the mistake once youve been admitted.

At UTS they do not organise the practical component for you. Unless they have been keeping it a very well kept secret?
