Develop the capabilities of the Whole Lawyer – four skills that employers want in new lawyers.

These four capabilities are developed through different and complementary parts of our course.

(1) Technical Capability (TQ)
Technical Capability is developed throughout the PLT course where you will run client matters across a range of practice areas, while being supported by expert legal practitioners.

(2) Human Skills (EQ)
Human skills are developed and appraised through immersive learning with a focus on the people skills required for effective client interaction, negoation, and advocacy. This includes the option to be seconded as part of your PLT program to work with real clients as a paralegal with Anika Legal.

(3) Character (CQ)
Character is developed through a 20-week full-time or 30-week part-time program of mentoring with a focus on ethics, professionalism, and reflective practice. During this time, you will work closely with your mentor – an experienced lawyer – who will act as a guide through the course and a sounding board as you look to enter the profession.

(4) Adaptability (AQ)
Adaptability is developed through the Leo Justice Lab. The Leo Justice Lab is undertaken by every Leo Cussen graduate. You’ll work in a team to apply your knowledge to a real access-to-justice problem faced by a partner organisation. You’ll be taught and appraised on methods and mindsets for innovation, including legal tech awareness, critical thinking, and collaborative problem-solving, which you’ll use as you enter the profession.
