The Legal Practitioners Admission Board is the body responsible for
making recommendations to the Supreme Court in respect of applications
for admission to the legal profession in Queensland. The Boards primary
role is to consider the eligibility (academic qualifications and
practical legal training) and suitability (good fame and character) of
applications for admission at a local, domestic and international
level. In conjunction with the Chief Justice of Queensland, the Board
takes an active role in approving academic and practical legal training
courses offered by universities and educational institutes in
Queensland. The Boards duties also include a consultative aspect, in
that it considers proposals suggested by other stakeholders such as the
Judiciary, the Legal Admissions Consultative Committee, the Queensland
Government and the legal profession.
As a statutory body
established under the Legal Profession Act 2007, the Board has a
responsibility to carry out various legislative requirements necessary
to allow it to fulfil its functions and comply with its obligations to
the profession and the public.
