Law students at the Australian National University will be able to complete their practical legal training at the campus, with an external not-for-profit provider offering a course.
The Leo Cussen Centre for Law will offer a graduate diploma of legal practice taught at the university's campus from January next year.
Academics at the university's law college condemned the decision to shut the school. The university said it was no longer financially sustainable to offer the program
Leo Cussen executive director Shirley Southgate said the partnership would benefit students and the legal profession.
"Both our organisations share a passion for high-quality legal education and offering the best law programs to prepare students for the rigours of legal practice," Ms Southgate said.
The university's College of Law dean, Professor Sally Wheeler, said the partnership was a natural fit for the two organisations.
