The Survivor’s Guide For Candidate Attorneys provides candidate attorneys with the practical information that they need during articles. While the book is premised on litigation practices predominantly from the KwaZulu-Natal division, it contains information that will be useful to candidate attorneys across the country. The information in this guide bridges the gap between the university environment, where the emphasis is on theoretical knowledge, and the candidate attorney’s new working environment, where the emphasis is on the practical, hands-on application of this knowledge, and learning fast!
The book also contains very useful checklists for court work and a directory comprising over 100 pages of useful contacts: including the High Courts, Regional Courts and Magistrates’ Courts, bargaining councils, sheriffs and sheriff service areas.
The second edition of The Survivor’s Guide For Candidate Attorneys has been thoroughly revised and updated to include information on the Regional Courts, some new practical pointers on how to deal with litigation matters, and a motivational call to candidate attorneys to become more aware of the (sometimes harsh) reality of legal practice and the working world. The directory has also been updated.
