Home - About Us

Leo Cussen Institute was established in 1972 by an Act of the Victorian Parliament under the auspices of the Law Institute of Victoria, the Victorian Bar Council, the University of Melbourne and Monash University to provide ‘continuing legal education for legal practitioners in Victoria and to perform certain functions in connexion with legal education’.

It is the principal provider of continuing legal education and professional development programs in Victoria. Over time its brief has expanded to encompass the provision of training, both legal and skills based, to include the wider community.
