Five-paper exam
Paper 1: Civil Court Practice & Contracts
The biggest paper of the new exam: High Court and Magistrates' Court procedure, pleadings and motions, delictual claims including personal injury, and contract drafting. Built directly from the LPC's Norms & Standards syllabus by practising attorneys — worked methods, not recycled lecture notes. Notes are teaching summaries; always confirm the current rules and directives before relying on them in practice.
