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.

The Supreme Court has advised that it will no longer remotely admit applicants.  

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).

Please choose your admission date and time carefully.  There is a substantial fee to change the date or time.  

At the ceremony

Your mover and yourself must dress as a lawyer would dress when appearing in the Supreme Court.  This means smart business dress for women and a coat, shirt and tie for men.

Remember, you are appearing in the Supreme Court of New South Wales.
