Hello everyone, in this video I will be showing you guys the process of becoming a lawyer in Malaysia. This video is divided into three steps and let's take a look at each one of them. I will be referring to the Legal Profession Act 1976 (LPA) as well as the Bar Council Rules and Rulings.
STEP 1: "Qualified Person" is where you need to get a recognised law degree from a university which the Legal Profession Qualifying Board (LPQB) has listed under the LPA. Some of these universities which offers an amazing law school experience, including;
i) University of Malaya
ii) Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM Shah Alam)
iii) Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM)
iv) Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (UIA)/ International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM)
v) Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM)
vi) Multimedia University
vii) Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UNISZA)
viii) Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM)
NOTE: For Malaysian students studying abroad, upon graduating, you would have to undergo the CLP examinations which is under the purview of the LPQB. Some notable universities that may have to undergo this is Brickfields Asia College. For local university students listed above, you are exempted from the CLP.
STEP 2: "Chambering" is where you will be training, learning, guided under the tutelage and apprenticeship of a "Master". Usually, this would be done in a law firm. A Master is typically a lawyer who has practiced for at least 7 years.
To apply for chambering, there are many documents and other requirements that you would need to have such as being a Malaysian, at least 18 years old, not convicted of a crime, not adjudicated bankrupt, and undertook your Bahasa Malaysia Qualifying Examination (exempted if you already took Bahasa Malaysia during SPM).
Other documents include;
i) Your IC and Sijil Kelahiran (true copies)
ii) Sijil kerajinan (Diligence Certificate)
iii) Evidence of Good Character
iv) Forms/ Borang 1 to 8 and related affidavits, notices and petition
STEP 3: "Long Call" in the end after completing 9 months, you will finally be called to the bar and be admitted into the Roll of Advocates and Solicitor at the High Court of Malaya. You will be there with your master, and usually pupils take pictures in front of the court with their friends and families.
