Stepping Up - foundation for practising on own account 2012

STU12 Banner with lf logo.png

STU12 red star2 This programme requires over 50 hours pre-course work. Register in plenty of time to obtain the materials in order to complete this work. A declaration as to the completion of this work is required.
There are four courses offered per year. This allows for an excess or demand over past history. However, there is no guarantee of acceptance on to any particular course, as maximum numbers apply to each session.

The national course Stepping Up replaces the various local Flying Start courses.
All lawyers wishing to practise on their own account whether alone, in partnership, in an incorporated practice or as a barrister, will be required to complete the course.
Stepping Up, which is a major building block in the Society’s competence and professional development programme, will assist candidates to:
  • Run the business of a law practice
  • Be responsible for the obligations of the practice
  • Understand and apply the relevant Rules of Conduct and Client Care
  • Understand the principles and rules of trust accounting.
Of course, those lawyers who wish to practise on their own and run a trust account will also have to complete the Trust Account Supervisors’ course as well, but the new course has been designed to reduce duplication.

Note
Currently, Stepping Up is not a compulsory prerequisite for lawyers applying to be barristers sole.  However, we strongly recommend lawyers intending to practise as barristers sole complete the course.  This is because the course is aimed at ensuring lawyers are properly prepared to practise on their own, which involves running their own business.  If you do not complete the Stepping Up course before applying to practise on own account as barrister sole then you will need to complete the course before being able to practise on own account as a barrister and solicitor.
