Introductory

Hiya people,

This blog is dedicated to candidates and prospective candidates who are planning to sit for the Certificate of Legal Practice (CLP) examinations. The CLP is considered an equivalent to postgraduate studies, more importantly, it is a prerequisite for many who wish to initiate pupillage in Malaysia, before being called to the Malaysian Bar. Having said that, there are those who are exempted from the CLP examinations by virtue of the Universities they graduate in, which is pretty much within a prescribed list of local universities determined by the Legal Qualifying Board (LPQB), or those whom have already attained their Bar in the UK.

Throughout my stint in preparation for the CLP exams, I realized there were very few experiences on the life and experiences, as well as opinions of CLP students online, hence this blog. Through my various postings, I hope it would enlighten and encourage my learned friends out there in their own preparations and plannings for their legal career :)

For a little background of myself, I'm a graduate from New Zealand, with a conjoint degree in Political Science and an Honours in Law. I was also admitted as a Solicitor & Barrister of the High Court of New Zealand late 2012, and have recently passed the CLP examinations with a 2nd Class Lower in the July 2013 sittings.

With that, I'll be adding entries day by day till my satisfaction is reached, based on the recurrence of my memories throughout my months of preparation for the CLP exam.
