Certificate-in-LegalPractice (CLP) Students Tutorial
TITLE:
Attention Certificate-in-Legal Practice (CLP) Students
Hi CLP students! I would like to introduce Che HusIn Che Puteh, to talk about the CLP interactive online tuition.
He would be conducting the online interactive tuition, starting on 15th
December 2020 (subject to changes). The tuition would be:
2) Practical approach.
3) Tackling and answering past year
questions and approaching them in such a way that is normally expected from a
vocational, CLP student to answer the questions.
4) The approach is the same or similar to an Advocate and Solicitor advising his/her
clients, how he presents his case before a judge in the court, how he writes a
legal opinion on a certain subject or topics or how he makes a submission in
the Court.
5) Once you acquire the right approach, you
would be on your path to smooth sailing of passing your CLP examination.
I did my “A”
levels in England way back 1979/80 and thereafter obtained my Law degree in
1983, I did my Bar-at-Law and was a student member of Lincoln’s Inns at the
Council of Legal Education, London, England in 1985 and being tired of staying
in England any longer, I came back to Malaysia and joined a Certificate in Legal
Practice Course (1986/87) and passed the said examination. I did chambering and
was called to the Malaysian Bar as an Advocate and Solicitor of the High Court
of Malaya in February 1989.
I practiced
as an Advocate and Solicitor for about 12 years and thereafter became a Legal
Adviser to a few corporate companies and my last position was as a Legal
Adviser at Al-Madinah International University. I then worked only on a
part-time basis and became the author of an educational book, also on a part-time
basis.
Well, back
to the subject of online interactive tuition classes that I would be conducting, the
scenario is as follows:
There is
roughly an average of about 1,000 CLP students each year who pursue the CLP
course in the 3 accredited colleges/universities in Malaysia. They have a law
degree from overseas, in particular from England. With a degree in law from
overseas, they are a qualified lawyer in theory. The employment opportunities
for a law degree holder from overs as aforesaid is very limited. This is
because they are not qualified professionals yet. So, in order to fill up the
gap, they shall have to pursue a Certificate in Legal Practice course and pass
the examination. Only after passing the CLP course would they be recognized as
a qualified professional lawyer. The employment opportunities for a qualified
professional lawyer are of course wide open. Yet again if you want to practice
law you would have to complete a 9-month chambering and thereafter you would be
eligible to be called to the Malaysian Bar as an Advocate and Solicitor of the
High Court of Malaya.
Similarly,
in England and wales, a law degree holder would have to take a vocational
course, either a Solicitor vocational course or a Barrister vocational course,
depending on the choice that you make, either to become a Solicitor or a
Barrister (Non-fusion system).
Through my
experience as a Certificate –in-Legal-Practice student and through facts and
figures it has been decades now that the percentage of pass rate in
Certificate-in-Legal-Practice is around 30-35%. Why what is the reason the
percentage of those who passed the CLP examination in one sitting is quite low?
I would say that the reasons for it being so, are as follows:-
The CLP
students are well equipped with English Laws but now, they would have to get familiarized with Malaysian Laws and Case laws (Malaysian laws are based on Statutes and a mixture of Common Laws) - [Written Laws]
T students
are equipped with theories (after obtaining their law degree) whereas, in
Certificate-in-Legal-Practice the approach is totally different. The students
would have to apply those theories or facts and laws in a practical way. The approach in answering the questions in the CLP examination would have to be in
a practical way. It is just like an Advocate and Solicitor giving advice to his
clients or how he writes a legal opinion on a certain subject or topics, how he
makes a submission in the Court, how he presents his case before a judge in the
court.
From the
facts and figures it is not surprising that most of the CLP students failed in
Civil Procedures, Criminal Procedures, and Evidence Papers. They either would
have to re-sit for the examination, that is, if they failed more than 2 papers
or they would refer in 1 or 2 papers.
I am
encouraged to hold this online tuition class after I gave 2 lessons to a CLP
student who is supposed to sit for the CLP examination by next year (2021). Her
responses and comments on those 2 of my tuition classes for her are as
follows:-
“Excellent
and simple approach. She would have to learn a lot more on the approach of how
to answer the examination questions. She wishes that I could hold more classes
right up until when the examination is approaching”.
Now, due to
Covid 19, it would be better for CLP students not to travel to attend classes but
now, they could learn from the comfort of their homes, or wherever they are-on
the go. To attend the tuition classes, they could either use their laptop, tabs, or even mobile device
