What is the Benefit of Award?
The Candidate Attorney (CA) Programme (also known as Practical Vocational Training [PVT]) involves a lot of choices, hard decisions to make and many questions! One of the best ways to handle this process is to get first-hand experience by attending one of our Vacation Programmes.
You will get to work hands-on with our Directors, attend meetings with counsel and sit in on consultations with our clients. Many of our graduates who attended the Vacation Work Programme went on to become Candidate Attorneys with us, as it provides you with an opportunity to make a lasting impression, plus it will guarantee you a panel interview for our CA/PVT Programme before you leave.
