The Western Australian legal fraternity welcomed 26 new lawyers in October.
The Supreme Court of Western Australia granted 26 motions for admission on 6 October 2011. Upon admission, a person becomes an “Australian lawyer” under the relevant statutory scheme.
Admission is the final step to legal practice in Western Australia. A law degree and a period of practical experience are among the many prerequisites stipulated by the Legal Practice Board of Western Australia.
Around 200 to 250 new lawyers are admitted each year in WA.
