CompulsoryCourse for

Candidate Attorneys

 

LEAD, a division of the Law Society of South Africa (LSSA), understands the needs of a modern-day law practice. A variety of 

methods to access high-quality learning activities are offered to attorneys, candidate attorneys and support staff. These include a

practical law school and a range of courses, certicate and diploma programmes, seminars and workshops which are conducted at

training centres, online or via distance learning.

WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION

 TO LEGAL EDUCATION AND

DEVELOPMENT (L.E.A.D)

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THECOMPULSORY COURSE FOR

CANDIDATE ATTORNEYS?

After a student obtains an LLB degree, one of the

main requirements for admission as an attorney is

two years of service under a contract of articles of 

clerkship and attendance of a course approved by

his/her statutory provincial law society. Attendance

of the course is in terms of Section 15(1)(b)(ivA)

of the Attorneys Act 53 of 1979, as amended. The

LSSA’s Compulsory Course for Candidate Attorneys,

which is made up of two modules, has been ap-

proved to full the requirements of the Act.

Note on Practical Legal Training

If the prospective attorney attends a full-time prac-

tical law school, he/she does not need to attend

the Compulsory Course for Candidate Attorneys.

For more information on the practical law school

offered by the LSSA, please consult the LEAD

website under “School for Legal Practice”.

WHAT IS THE COURSE’S

LEARNING OBJECTIVE?

The course is designed to supplement the training

provided by law rms in the knowledge and skills

required of a competent candidate attorney.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/compulsory-course-for-candidate-attorneys-2012-v13 2/8

IS THE COURSE A PREREQUISITE

TO WRITING THE ATTORNEYS

ADMISSION EXAMINATION?

No, it is not a prerequisite; however, LEAD recom-

mends that candidate attorneys attend the course

as soon as possible after commencing art icles of 

clerkship and before attempting the Attorneys

Admission Examination.

To assist candidate attorneys with preparation for

the Admission Examination, the examination dates

are taken into account when the course is presented.

A candidate attorney may complete the four papers

of the examination in any sequence. Nonetheless,

ideally the papers should be completed simulta-

neously (see rule 3(2) in the Government Gazette  

of 8/1/88).

ADMISSION EXAMINATION

DATES 2012

Date: 21 and 22 February 2012

Date: 21 and 22 August 2012

The following candidates qualify to write the

Attorneys Admission Examination –

Attorneys Act 53 of 1979, Section 14(3): “An

examination referred to in subsection (1) shall

not be conducted in respect of any person

unless he satises the examiners concerned

that he –

(a) has complied with the provisions of this

Act in regard to service under articles or a

contract of service; or

(b) is serving under articles or contract of 

service and has so served for a continuous

period of not less than six months; or

(c) is, under the provisions of this Act, exempt

from service under articles (Section 2A);

or(d) has attended a training course approved

by the society concerned for an uninter-

rupted period of at least four months and

has completed such course to the satis-

faction of that society.” (School for Legal

Practice).

 

WHO CAN ATTEND THE

COMPULSORY COURSE FOR

CANDIDATE ATTORNEYS?

Candidate attorneys and LLB-graduates. Preference

is given to candidate attorneys in their nal year of 

articles. Should a prospective attendee not satisfy

the requirements to participate, he/she may submit

a special motivation for attendance addressed to

the Manager: Compulsory Courses for Candidate

Attorneys. This motivation can be submitted to the

LEAD Course Coordinators.

ON WHAT BASIS IS THE COURSEPRESENTED?

The course is divided into two modules and can bepresented on a full-time, part-time and evenings 

basis depending on the centre concerned. Please

refer to the Course Schedule on page 4 for details.

THE TWO MODULES

Module I is designed to assist the candidate attorney

to prepare for the first paper in the Admission

Examination. Module II is designed to assist with

preparation of the second, third and fourth papersin the Admission Examination.

* LEAD reserves the right to cancel a workshop

if the number of registrations does not justify

the cost.

** In most centres, Attorneys’ Bookkeeping is pre-

sented over one full week. LEAD is obliged to

schedule the subject in this manner, due to

− the number of public holidays in the rst

semester of the year;

− continuity required for Attorneys’ Bookkeep-

ing lectures; and

− the necessity to conclude the subject before

the Admission Examination.

*** Recent research in South Africa has shown that

a large percentage of candidate attorneys do not

have the required numeracy skills. Therefore,

candidates will undergo compulsory assessment

regarding numeracy skills during the course.

Those who fail the assessment, will receive com-

pulsory training and will then be compelled to

undergo post-assessment.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

At the time of going to press, the Legal Practice Bill

had not yet been nalised. This Bill will replace theAttorneys Act 53 of 1979, and as a result, the Law

Society of South Africa reserves the right to change

course programmes. Course attendees will be ad-

vised accordingly.

CODE OF CONDUCT AND

SATISFACTORY ATTENDANCE

1. Course attendees are expected to attend and

participate actively in all training activities in

a satisfactory manner. Mere physical presence

does not constitute satisfactory attendance.

2. If an attendee is unable to attend a lecture forwhatever reason, he/she will be noted as being

absent. This includes sickness, family respon-

sibility leave or duty at his/her rm.

In exceptional cases, a ‘catch-up’ class can be

arranged with the coordinator at a fee.

Attendees should note the citation of Judge

R van Dijkhorst re satisfactory attendance [Case

Number 824/99 on 16 February 1999]: “TheApplicant was absent for four out of the 25 days

of the course. This is absolutely not satisfactory

attendance. Workload is no excuse.” [Freely

translated from Afrikaans to English]. This

citation was reported and noted by other

 judges.

3. LEAD suggests that candidate attorneys ensure

that they have a hundred per cent attendance in

order to avoid complications with their appli-

cation for admission as an attorney.

4. Course attendees should further note that late

arrival or/and early departure is equal to non-

attendance.

5. Course attendees must

• prepare adequately for every training session;

• conduct themselves in a courteous manner

towards fellow attendees, instructors and

course administrators;

• execute the prescribed evaluation procedure

pertaining to the course; and

• refrain from disrupting training activities in

any way.

6. The LSSA regards any fraudulent actions

regarding the attendance registers in a very

serious light and severe action will be taken

by the LSSA on proof of such misconduct by

course attendees. The LSSA reserves the right

to terminate the attendance of an attendee who

does not comply with the code of conduct and

further not issue an attendance certicate.
