Which of the following areas of law is NOT tested in the Queensland Deputy Law Practice Exam?

The area of law that is not tested in the Queensland Deputy Law Practice Exam is civil procedure. The exam focuses primarily on practical aspects of law that a legal practitioner would encounter in their day-to-day work, such as contracts, criminal law, and property law. These areas are fundamental to ensuring that candidates possess the essential knowledge and skills to navigate legal problems effectively.

Civil procedure, while important in the overall legal framework, does not play a central role in the responsibilities of a Deputy throughout their practice, which is focused more on client interactions, negotiation, and applying substantive law rather than the procedural intricacies of court processes. The exam emphasizes practical application over procedural knowledge to prepare candidates for their immediate duties in legal practice.
