Overview
Connecting the dots between the practical and theoretical training received by candidate attorneys in their pre-admission phase is relevant because it will help them view the two aspects as joined. Often, the two requirements are viewed as ordeals that they must endure in order to be signed off as fit and proper at the end of their training.
Coming to the world of legal practice as still thinking as law students, they are accustomed to compartmentalizing their learning for the purpose of regurgitating it in assessments. They are not taught that practice and legal theory go together - or that practice amplifies legal theory. Most Candidate Attorneys never enjoy their articles and stick it out at the expense of their physical and mental health.
Join Adv, Lisa Thomas where she will teach you to connect all their experiences during qualification that will help gather your thoughts and take yourself seriously as future legal practitioners.
