I have a LLB Law degree from a recognized Uni and SPM . However, I do not have A-levels or STPM. Can I still apply for CLP using my foundation, LLB and SPM? Did anyone apply using their foundation and got accepted?

I have just completed my clp this year . I applied for the clp using my foundation cert, SPM and LLB. Before I applied, I’ve asked the lecturers of the campus and they mentioned that 90% that the foundation cert may be rejected by the LPQB. But I went ahead and applied anyway, and it got accepted by the board surprisingly.

I took my foundation in Sabah . It’s called Jesselton college. I took the foundation for international university studies or something like that . But it’s not advisable to go for foundation as few of my friends applied using their foundation certs and got rejected tho.

And no i havent applied to any firms yet as I’m taking a break in my hometown. I’ll apply once I’m back in KL.

Which firm are you in right now ?

Hi all. Im an accountant and few years back i actually passed my uol llb. While i have made my decision to stay i  finance industry, i felt like probably it is times for me to also study clp since my work life now is more menageable.

My question is, assuming i pass the clp, must i attend pupilage for 9 months immediately, or the 9 months training can be of anytime? Im currently just intent to evaluate the option that i have although i do not foresee that i will be practising law in near future. Dont think i will be so enthu to pursue any further study once i hit 30 years old.

hi, i'm a pupil-in-chambers who's going to finish my chambering in 2 or 3 months. I want to ask for your learned opinion;

i) I am interested to do criminal litigation, but i don't want to leave civil litigation. Thus, after my chambering ends, should i go for a good civil liti firm then only i opt for a criminal liti firm after i acquired the skills needed in civil liti?; or

should i go straight to criminal firm and opt for civil liti firm later if needed so that i can get the best of both?

ii) do top firms (skrine, shearn, shooklin, thomas philips etc.) have any other perks besides the pay? I know the exposures etc. are there but still, you can get them in any other firm. This should be on the perspective of a practicing lawyer not a chambee.

Thank you!
