New format for CLP exam puts law grads in a spot


EXCLUSIVE: PETALING JAYA: Lecturers and students are up in arms over a last-minute format change to the crucial Certificate of Legal Practice (CLP) examination, which will determine the future of more than 1,000 aspiring lawyers.

With less than two months before the examination in August, notice of the change in format for the Criminal Procedure paper was posted on the Legal Profession Qualifying Board’s portal only on May 25, although the board decided on it almost six months earlier, on Dec 7 last year.
