Modernising Malaysia’s pathway to legal practice


THE proposed replacement of the Certificate in Legal Practice (CLP) with the New Bar Course (NBC) marks an important shift in Malaysia’s legal education and qualification system, as reported in “New Bar Course to replace CLP exam with emphasis on practical skills, says Kula” (The Star, June 22).

It signals a move away from a rigid, exam-oriented structure towards a more practical, skills-based and contemporary approach that better reflects the realities of today’s legal profession.
