Correction: law school has been changed to only 4 months now and not 6 months

[@tshepi4justice875]

Thank you for the update. Kindly note that I state the law as it is at the time when I'm recording my videos. The law changes all the time. This is the reason why I have a disclaimer that says, "This video is for informational purposes only and should not be considered as legal advice. The law changes frequently therefore before making any decisions kindly conduct further research based on your specific circumstances and era". In this case, emphasis on "era". ☺

Hey,can you take maths lit to go forward with studying law?

[@tshepi4justice875]

Yes, you may.

[@tsotetsinontobeko3006]

So which modules are done during your first year

[@tshepi4justice875]

I studied at UJ so idk about other Universities. But I know that University of Johannesburg’s first year modules are 1. English for law (year module) OR English 1A (first semester) and English 1B (second semester) 2. Indigenous law 3. Introduction to legal studies 4. Law of persons and the family 5. plus as elective module, I chose psychology. Other ppl chose history and others chose politics etc.

[@zoeleighrose6150]

Hi! I asked around alot on other law chanels, I want peoples opinions who are currently in the profession or studying law...what was your personal experiece with where you studied? I want to study at Unisa , but not if its going to affect my employability in any way...do you think employers care where you studied? Or do you think they just look for marks and degrees? Can you get into big law even as a unisa graduate?...I know Unisa is a great uni w some of the most hardworking people in the law field

[@tshepi4justice875]

I know a person who studied at UNISA and got articles at a small firm. So focus on your marks and retaining the information/knowledge given to u at Uni.

[@zoeleighrose6150]

@@tshepi4justice875 thank you! Will do..most people I've talked to also said marks over where you studied matters most.

[@tshepi4justice875]

@@zoeleighrose6150 most definitely. Thanks for watching ❤😊

[@christinegovender3886]

Focus on your marks and ensure that you are an "all rounder" , take up other activities ,such as participating in moots etc. Law firms don't just want a legal robot.

[@neoneo3738]

Hi 😊 what subjects do we need to take for grade 10

[@neoneo3738]

@tshepang engilah Khitshane but in my school there is no history in my subject choice form

[@neoneo3738]

@tshepang engilah Khitshane okay thanks ❤️❤️

[@tshepi4justice875]

I agree that history is an advantage. History is an advantage because our law comes from Roman Dutch law. Common law is the root of our law. Therefore, understanding the history of how Romans/Dutch people came to SA or how they might have had the authority to influence our law in history, it's an advantage. ☺

[@sharondondo5410]

Nice video 👌. I wanted to ask can you go the route of getting your llb then do PLT course then bar exams then articles at last?

[@tshepi4justice875]

Hi Sis, yes. You can do your LLB then go to Law School for six months then write board exams then do articles for a year.

what is the fit and proper test all about and is it important ? do they check the candidates criminal background? sorry for asking so many questions we have a debate about that topic and i am trying to gather information and understand

[@tshepi4justice875]

When you start your articles the LPC will elect an attorney in the city where you are doing your articles. The attorney will be from a firm other than your law firm. It was an easy interview for me because the questions were based on attorney’s ethics and the Legal Practice Act. Basically, you will be asked questions regarding attorney’s ethics and to see whether you understand how you must conduct yourself as a candidate attorney. And no, the attorney didn’t check my criminal record. His duty was to test my knowledge. But I think when you initiate your admission application the LPC does check your criminal record so that they can establish whether they need to oppose your application.

[@christophermofokeng8580]

I am currently on my final year but unfortunately got a criminal record of ( common assault) I will like to enquire about the possibilities to be admitted??

[@tshepi4justice875]

Hi. The LPC might oppose your application and state that you are not a fit and proper people. Check out Prince v President of the law society of the cape of good. However, the court might make an order in your favour if you prove that you are rehabilitated. See Sebatsana v The LPC, a recent case that was made on 2 August 2024. Good luck and thanks for watching

[@phiwokuhlevilakati2486]

I have a question can a Attorney from another country practice in South Africa I'm from Swaziland

[@tshepi4justice875]

Interesting enough, currently there is a huge debate regarding this topic. Section 24(2)(b)(i) of the Legal Practice Act 28 of 2014 states that in order to be admitted as an attorney in SA, you must be a South African Citizen or permanent resident of the republic. A lot of people who studied in SA are unable to practice because of this section. So this matter was taken to the Constitutional Court on the basis that the section discriminates against foreign nationals. The ministers argued that the section was in line with government’s obligations to ensure that foreign nationals did not circumvent immigration and labour laws. Then the Constitutional Court, in Rafoneke and Others v Minister of Justice and Correctional Services and Others, ruled that the section is constitutional. This judgement is very fresh. The matter was heard on the 24th of February 2022 and the unanimous judgement was handed down on the 2nd of August 2022. Therefore, currently as I’m writing this reply, you can’t be admitted as an attorney in SA if you are not a citizen or permanent resident in the republic.

Do you know if Boston City Campus is a credible college? Like good enough for you to be able to get a job in the legal sector with their LLB degree in Law? Please help if you have any info🥺🙏🏾.

[@tshepi4justice875]

I don’t wanna be sued for defamation or anything, but I’ve heard people mentioning that ALLEGEDLY law firms don’t prefer candidates who obtained their degrees from a college. So it’s really hard to get articles. Some students were even advised to do their LLM before searching for articles.

No. To be admitted as an attorney in SA, you need to have an LLB degree
