Since its establishment in 1972, Leo Cussen Centre for Law has been known for legal training and continuing professional development for entry-level lawyers through to senior legal practitioners.

Leo Cussen, which is situated at Melbourne, Victoria, provides Practical Legal Training (PLT) and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for lawyers, as well as traineeship programs for entry-level lawyers employed by law firms; training for overseas lawyers seeking admission to the Australian legal profession; and for lawyers needing to requalify, as well as courses for legal support staff.
