The path to admission in Australia
- An accredited law degree (LLB or JD) covering the eleven required areas known as the Priestley 11: Administrative Law, Civil Procedure, Company Law, Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law and Procedure, Equity (including Trusts), Ethics and Professional Responsibility, Evidence, Property and Torts.
- Practical Legal Training (PLT) with an approved provider, combining coursework and work experience.
- An application for admission to the admission authority of your state or territory.
The eleven areas are set out in Schedule 1 of the Law Admissions Consultative Committee’s Uniform Admission Rules. Each state and territory regulates the details of admission itself. Your admission authority has the binding answer.
How to judge a study tool
Ask these questions of any tool, including ours:
- Does the content follow Australian law, or was it written for another country?
- Does it cover the eleven areas you need for admission?
- Do you practise actively with questions and cases, or mostly read summaries?
- Does it schedule reviews at growing intervals?
- Does it mix topics in practice?
- Which step is it for: law school, PLT or both?
- What does it cost, and what is not included?
Self-testing instead of rereading (Roediger and Karpicke 2006), spaced review (Cepeda and colleagues 2006) and mixed practice (Rohrer and Taylor 2007) are among the best-supported study methods.
What tools are out there
Details about providers come from their own websites, checked on 4 November 2026. Prices in Australian dollars; only the provider’s current information is binding.
PLT providers: required, not a study app
PLT is a required step of its own, and no app can replace it. Two well-known providers as examples:
- The College of Law: $9,200 for domestic students, $13,270 for international students; FEE-HELP for eligible domestic students. Part-time over 30 weeks with online coursework, five workshop days or twelve evenings, and work experience.
- Leo Cussen Centre for Law: for 2026, $12,390 for domestic students with a self-organised placement or $13,255 with a Leo Cussen placement; $17,790 or $18,655 for international students. Full-time or part-time.
Your admission authority lists further PLT providers, including universities.
Tools for law school
- Your university’s own material: lecture notes, past exams, and the library with textbooks and databases.
- General flashcard apps such as Anki or Quizlet: flexible, but you write the cards yourself.
- Lexionary: a study workspace for Australian law students which, according to the provider, offers a case brief generator, help with planning answers, AGLC4 citations, mind maps and tutor questions. There is a free trial; we did not check the price.
- Many well-known law study apps are written for US law. Before you buy, check whether the content follows Australian law.

What Lexxington is and is not
Lexxington is a tool for learning and reviewing the material of the required subjects. It replaces neither your degree nor PLT, and it is not an accredited qualification. For admission, only your admission authority’s requirements count.
What Lexxington is built for: short, active practice every day, so the material holds for your university exams and is ready when you start PLT.
Combine rather than replace
Most students combine several tools: university material, textbooks, flashcards. Try Lexxington for seven days and then decide what fits the way you study.
A note on fairness: The College of Law, Leo Cussen, Lexionary, Anki and Quizlet are trademarks of their owners. Lexxington is not affiliated with these providers or with any admission authority. For other providers’ services and prices, only their own information applies.
