VLSB+C Statement in support of the Victorian Treaty-making process
Most newly admitted lawyers are subject to a supervised legal practice (SLP) condition on their practicing certificate. This means that they must have their legal work supervised by an eligible supervisor for the first 18-24 months of legal practice.
Your supervised legal practice (SLP) period is an opportunity for you to develop practical legal and professional skills and ethical judgement, under the skilled mentorship of a more experienced lawyer and form good habits for a successful legal career.
You can make the most of this period by actively pursuing opportunities for professional development and mentorship.
This page provides information about the regulatory requirements of SLP and directs you to helpful resources to support you during SLP.
You will first need to know whether your supervised legal practice period is either 18 months or two years, depending on how you qualified for admission.
Supervising a newly admitted lawyer is a rewarding, but serious, responsibility. It’s important to approach it with an understanding of what it entails. This page provides practical advice on how to be a successful supervisor.
