Namibia Legal Practitioners' Qualifying Examination case studies
Namibia Legal Practitioners' Qualifying Examination · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Legal Practitioners' Qualifying Examination is the assessment that aspiring attorneys in Namibia must clear before the Board of Legal Education admits them to practise. It sits at the bridge between academic legal study and the supervised practice of law: candidates have usually completed their LLB and their period of practical training, and the examination tests whether they can apply the law the way a working practitioner must - advising a client, drafting process, appearing in motion proceedings, managing a file. The Namibia Legal Practitioners' Qualifying Examination case studies are 5 cases and about 3,182 words.
