Booking an admission date

For full details, please refer to Section 13 of the Guide for Applicants for Admission as a Lawyer. The information below is a brief overview only.

Soon after we receive all your documentary evidence, we will send you an email prompt to book an admission date.

After the approval of their applications, every applicant must:

  • attend an admission ceremony in-person at the Supreme Court, to take the oath/affirmation of office and sign the Supreme Court Roll,

or

  • be admitted 'on the papers' through a remote admission process.

    Effective from 1 June 2022, the remote admission process will be limited to applicants who can demonstrate that they meet strict eligibility criteria.

Booking an admission ceremony

To book an admission ceremony, you need to sign into the online Admission Portal and book the available date and time of your choice.

Bookings close 7 calendar days before the date of the relevant ceremony (or earlier, if all places have already been booked).

The dates and times of admission ceremonies that are available for booking are listed in the online Admission Portal.

Currently the Supreme Court intends to hold admission ceremonies in Sydney on one day each month (except January).

Booking a remote admission

Until 12 May 2022, you may book a remote admission by signing into the online Admission Portal.  There will be unlimited places for remote admissions to be held on 20 May 2022.

Effective from 1 June 2022:

  • the monthly remote admission process will be limited to applicants who can demonstrate that they meet one or more of the strict eligibility criteria specified in Section 13 of the Guide for Applicants for Admission as a Lawyer
  • bookings for remote admissions will no longer be available in the online Admission Portal
  • to book a remote admission you will need to:

In all other cases, applicants will be required to attend an admission ceremony in-person at the Supreme Court, to take the oath/affirmation of office and sign the Supreme Court Roll.
