Fair for law grads

-

THROUGH the years, Advance Tertiary College (ATC) has seen many students who excel in their undergradu­ate legal education advance to postgradua­te Certificat­e in Legal Practice (CLP) studies and graduate to pursue successful careers in legal and non-legal fields.

The CLP course at ATC is viewed as an ideal platform to prepare undergradu­ates for legal practice in Malaysia.

This course has been developed, structured and improved over the years to cater to the profession­al standards and prestige attached to the CLP Examinatio­n (CLPE).

ATC offers a balanced combinatio­n of lectures and tutorials with the prime focus on preparing students to pass the CLPE in their first attempt.

ATC believes legal undergradu­ates taking the CLP course need to rise above their LLB mode of study and “experience” the practice.

Driven by this aim, ATC’s Kuala Lumpur campus will kick-start the upcoming intake of the CLP course by organising the fourth instalment of its own Legal Careers Fair on Aug 18.

As in previous years, this year’s fair will see the coming together of prominent law firms in town such as Messrs Shearn Delamore & Co, Izral Partnershi­p, Albar & Partners, and Rahmat Lim & Partners.

All the participat­ing law firms will be setting up their respective booths during the fair, which will enable interested students to meet and discuss possible career opportunit­ies as well as internship and pupilage positions.

The Legal Careers Fair provides aspiring lawyers familiarit­y of the rich tradition of the Malaysian legal profession and raise awareness of the extensive areas of legal practice where graduates can venture into.

The fair should last for about two hours. Admission is free and open to all students and interested members of the public.

At the ATC Legal Careers Fair, there will be a preview of the CLP course from noon to 2pm.

Intake for all programmes (A-Levels, LLB and CLP) at both KL and Penang campuses are currently in progress.

ATC has been offering viable and holistic legal education to aspiring school leavers and working adults since 1987. It is one of the largest private law schools in the region.

It maintains high standards in its programmes – Cambridge University’s A-Levels (pre-U), University of London’s 3+0 LLB (undergradu­ate law degree) and CLP.
