QUOTE(ebony_my @ Aug 23 2013, 05:04 PM) Can someone enlighten me on the difference between CLP and the UK Bar? Will it be a total waste to practice in malaysia after being admitted to the Bar? And also please highlight the different route between these two. Thanks Bar is useful if you want to be a litigator, CLP is better for corporate. LPC would actually be ideal for corporate but it's not recognised in Malaysia.  |

QUOTE(jhong @ Aug 29 2013, 10:58 PM) I would agree that BPTC does train you in legal drafting and advocacy, but not necessarily make you a better litigator. However, i do not think having passed CLP would pave your way in becoming a corporate lawyer? Thanks for that information! It seems strange that more of us Malaysians don't attempt to secure a training contract while doing their 1/2/3 years study in the UK; it's far easier to get a training contract than it is to get a pupillage and firms tend to be much more commercially-minded and recognise the advantages that a poly-lingual, well-travelled candidate could bring. They could also spend 2 years working in the UK earning far more than they would back in Malaysia (evening taking the cost of living into account). Technically speaking, this is a misconception, we do not recognise the BPTC nor LPC itself. It is barrister-at-law that is recognised having admitted to the English Bar and member of Inn. If you passed your LPC and you're admitted into the roll of solicitors in the UK, it will be recognised here as well. We tend to misunderstand due to the fact that a pupillage is not a must to become barrister-at-law; whereas, in order to admit to the law society in the UK, you will have to secure a training contract. http://www.lpqb.org.my/index.php?option=co...d=131&Itemid=77 |
