LEGAL PROFESSION ACT 2006 (NO 38 OF 2006) - SECT 29

Eligibility for admission

    (1)     A person is eligible for admission to the legal profession under this Act only if:

    (a)     the person is an individual aged 18 years or over; and

    (b)     the person has attained:

        (i)     approved academic qualifications; or

        (ii)     corresponding academic qualifications; and

    (c)     the person has satisfactorily completed:

        (i)     approved practical legal training requirements; or

        (ii)     corresponding practical legal training requirements.

    (2)     However, the Admission Board may recommend the Supreme Court admit a person even if the person does not satisfy the requirements of subsection (1)(b) or (c), or both of those requirements, if the Board is satisfied it is reasonable that the person be admitted because the person has sufficient academic qualifications or sufficient relevant experience in legal practice or relevant service with an Agency.

    (3)     The Board may recommend the person be admitted unconditionally or subject to conditions relating to the obtaining of further academic qualifications or further legal training.
