all private universities in malaysia offering law degree requires their law students to complete their third year in UK which is quite expensive.

Added on July 19, 2009, 6:19 pmthanks a lot for sharing d info schiz!

i got question bout this

13.0 What if my degree is not recognised by the Malaysian government. What can I do or what options do I have?

If the degree is not recognised by JPA then the holder will not be able to work in the civil service.

If the degree is not recognised by the LPQB or S3 LPA 1976 then the only option would be to be an English Barrister, English Solicitor or Irish Barrister(subject to changes to the recognition by the LPQB) if the degree is recognised by them.

Another unlikely and impractical alternative would be to become a lawyer elsewhere and to hope that the A-G will exercise his power under Section 28A Legal Profession Act 1976 so as to enable the lawyer to petition to be admitted as an advocate and solicitor of the High Court of Malaya or Sabah and Sarawak under Section 28B. The drawback here is, it is very unlikely that this power will be exercised and there is an expiry date for the Special Admissions Certificate.

how do i know if the degree is valid or not by the JPA? any idea? im taking my degree external studies under UOL.which laters would surely continued my CLP.hope u can help me on this.

If you're doing the external law degree under UOL. with most colleges/universities around (most famous would be either brickfields or Kemayan or KDU or HELP) I think they are the ones doing the degree now. You should have no problems with doing the CLP and being called to the Bar. So long as you have a 2nd lower honours and above. If you get a third, you will not be able to sit for your CLP and will not be called to the BAR, so please be VERY careful about this. I'm not sure if they changed this already.

Alternatively, look at the Legal Profession Act 1976. You can find this act in the Bar council website OR the AG's Chamber's Website (where they have all the acts of Malaysia there). In the Act, they will dictate what universities are exempted, what are recognised, and so forth, it should be able to cover all your queries regarding whether or not you qualify to be called to the bar.

however if you find yourself not understanding the Act, then you might just want to call the Bar Council Malaysia's HQ and ask them about admission to the bar. They are helpful if you can get them. (they're really busy)
