Welcome to the Legal Profession Admission Board (LPAB) website. The LPAB is a self-funding body, created by legislation, responsible for making rules for, and approving, the admission of lawyers and appointment as a public notary. The Board also registers Students-at-Law who on passing the Board's exams receive a Diploma in Law and satisfy the academic requirements for Admission as a Lawyer.

Latest News

  • EXAMINATION RESULTS UPDATE: The September 2009 exam result letters will be mailed out tomorrow, Friday 23 October with pass results posted onto this site in the afternoon of the same day. Please do not contact this office to enquire when the results will be appearing as this will only delay the process. To allow for the delay in students receiving their results the Board has decided to extend the enrolment period for Term 1/2010 until Wednesday 4 November 2009 and the late enrolment period to Wednesday 11 November 2009. Once again we apologise for any inconvenience.
  • The Board now accepts payment via EFTPOS (except Enrolments), Visa and Mastercard. For credit card payments other than in person, the Board requires a credit card payment form to be completed. Please see the forms and fees link for payment options.
