Hi, where to check when the registration date is started and ended? I try search but cannot find it. After finish 3 year degree can straightaway take the exam or not ? or must wait 1 year only can take? Thanks

All the information you require (registration dates, time for exams) is in the system after registration. If you are not clear on any of the info, just call LPQB at 03-2260 1368/9.

Hi guys

I note from LPQB that one require STPM/A Level/UEC to be able to sit for CLP.

I have SPM, Foundation and Degree in Engineering from UK.

Even if i take and pass LLB now, i would not be able to sit for CLP and thus not able to practice in Malaysia? Kindly advise.

It has changed, but do check further.

Hi MrCola,

I've completed my law degree, and I did EU law and Commercial Law. Honestly, upon several internships and countless networking sessions, I do not think that the subjects you choose in school necessarily impacts your career options. The reason being that the substantive knowledge you obtain in law school, though relevant, will unlikely be of that much value to when you actually work. I think what is more important is that regardless of what you choose, try your best to excel in it to demonstrate your capabilities.

The value of the subjects chosen, if any, would probably be a conversation starter, in say, an interview. That is, to say that it is through a certain subject you've taken that has sparked your interest to the job that you are applying for. So yes, I don't see how choosing Commercial Law will deter you from practicing Family Law in future, as long as you can demonstrate your motivation for Family Law, which is a whole other topic of course.

In fact, I know friends who took subjects in university completely unrelated to their current jobs and they have no regrets doing so since they enjoyed it.

Hope this helps.

Is it really tough to get hired in law now?

It depends but from what I heard, some firms are slowing down or freezing their hiring process at the moment. It still depends on what position you are asking for though.

Firms are certainly more selective now. There are vacancies but it's an employer's market.

Hi guys, do students who sit for CLP exam will have higher chances to get employment in law firm compared to those who don't ???

Not so. Certain firms tend to go for BAR students. So its mostly preference based.

Guys are lawyers in Malaysia oversupply ?

Yes it is.

Can provide further information? Thanks

Hi, the bar council and govt offers free legal service for criminal cases for ppl who can't afford? Do they hire many lawyers?

I don't think they hire lawyers themselves but rather they are lawyers who have their own separate practice and volunteer for pro bono work

Guys where can I find chambering/pupillage jobs once I graduate ????
