Poor English a problem, says Bar Council


SUBANG JAYA: A huge problem plaguing both the legal education and profession is the poor command of English, said the Bar Council and numerous law teachers.

While the profession is also beset by an irrelevant Certificate in Legal Practice (CLP) and the Master-Pupil programme, the quality of teaching in some public and private law schools leaves much to be desired. These were the views at a public forum “Legal Education in Malaysia, The Way Foward” yesterday at Taylor’s University’s Lakeside Campus.
