THE legal profession, as inferred from the preamble to the Bar Council Malaysia’s Legal Profession Act 1976, constitutes the work of an advocate and solicitor (also called a barrister and solicitor, an attorney or lawyer).
Because law is such as a vast field, it is impossible for anyone to know each and every aspect of it. Law students, therefore, usually specialise in one or two focused areas, after mastering the basic knowledge and skills of the profession, such as drafting and advocacy.
