| Answer |
|
Any prospective Barrister, Attorney or Notary before he/she can be admitted to any of the three branches of the legal profession must comply with Section 4 (2) (a) (ii) (B) of the Law Practitioners Act (LPA). Under Section 5 of the LPA, there will be compliance if the applicant has followed such course as may be approved by the Council and conducted by an accredited person in the subjects specified in the Second Schedule.
Consequently, following the Vocational Course is compulsory before taking the Vocational Examination.
