Admission Criteria

Foreign Lawyers

As we are a “practitioners-for-practitioners” professional law school, we do not believe in stringent academic requirements. In fact, by being a practitioner, you would have already met the stringent academic requirements in your law degree in your home jurisdiction.

We recognize your status as a practitioner and accord you the respect you deserve as a member of a noble profession. Therefore, we do not believe in letters of reference and we do not require a statement why you wish to study with us.

Accordingly, the only criterion is an assessment by the National Committee of Accreditation that you will have to sit for 1 or more of their Challenge Examinations.

Please note, however, that places on the courses are limited and we seek to admit participants on a “first-come-first-served” basis. We regret, therefore, that late applications may be rejected.

Non-Lawyers with a Law Degree

The above observations and criterion equally apply to non-lawyers who are in possession of a foreign law degree.

Non-Lawyers without a Law Degree

For non-lawyers, the admission criterion is, however, different in that you will have to demonstrate the capacity to understand law. As a minimum, we require that you have a non-law degree with at least 1 year of working experience, or if you are not in possession of a degree, then at least 3 years of working experience. Admission is still discretionary.
