I'm a law student and the reason I decided to do law was because of criminal law but since I've been studying I've fallen in love with family law, it's really interesting for me.
EVA Mo you and I are the same! I love family law , unfortunately haven’t experienced it in practice 🥴
Same here .. I loved criminal law but now I'm more on private law
Hey learned friend ,your video is informative. The moment you say you love criminal law ,I went to the like button and further clicked the subscription button. All the best in your LLM, just finished mine.
Thank you sir 😊

😂😂😂
Look at you laugh🤣🤣🤣
Hi, I'm planning to study an llb 4 year undergraduate degree in south africa and i have the option of choosing an recommended additional course to be added, theres economic concepts, microeconomics, English literature and political sciences. I'm not sure which will benefit me the most, i can also pick any course from any faculty that is not recommended so I'm thinking about a psychology course, does anyone have any advice or recommend any other choices?
Hi there... I think political science is a good option. 😊
We are expensive... law course is weary and pretty demanding. Of course, your worth has to ne expensive.
Prince Tjikila of course ✨🙌🏽😅
🤣 🤣 ♥️

The 5th point is probably the most commonly known misconception
DLA Piper founding Partner said it best, the world has created Sliver lawyers, because students take the degree like a liberal arts class and end up having to choose one field in order to have some kind of relevance and effectivity. Back in the day you could go to a lawyer for anything
I'm actually considering becoming an advocate but then I'm scared of not having money after registering as independent....please explain this to me maybe I'm wrong
Oh no Musa, please follow your dreams. If you get a good mentor and proper training, you will succeed. I don’t think you should be afraid. There are plenty of opportunities at the Bar. Dare I say more than in practice. It’s obviously less stable than practice as you never know when you may get your next brief, but it is rewarding. Believe in yourself and abilities. You’ll be ok 🙂
I have heard from other female lawyers that the law environment is very sexist.. What are your thoughts about sexism in the law environment.
It really is getting better. I personally cannot give you a proper account. I’ve had mostly female bosses and so, I’ve never really been exposed to such 🌸 I guess it would depend on how serious the institution is about transformation.
Which quality of life to sacrifice?
Please watch my latest video on work experiences in Corporate. I think it may shed some light 🙏🏾
Hi, I hope I am not too late, so I wanted to ask mwhat are the chances of practicing law abroad after graduating in SA .. and if there are any chances how can I go about that?
Thank you in advance 🤗
Hi there... 🌸 there’s definitely opportunities to work abroad after graduating. I don’t know of a person who worked abroad before becoming an attorney so I’d say first get that out of the way. You could apply for jobs abroad but it’s better to do it through a recruiter /agency.
Also, what I’ve seen happen here is that recruiters go for people working in big firms because they would have experience working on big projects. Lastly, you’re more attractive to international firms if you practice in an area of law that is more specialized i.e, TMT, IP, Construction law (to name a few).
Hope this helps 🥴 this is by no means the gospel. I just know this because of the people I know who work abroad or who have at least interviewed with firms abroad. And they all come firm big firms in SA or at least international firms like Allen & Overy, Clyde & Co etc....
@@atleganggovuza6733 thank you. I want to practice in the UK and that is were I am planning on doing my masters. Hopefully it goes well
Hahaha they think we are monied😂😂
Thats Lerato for you they really do 😂
@@atleganggovuza6733 yes and articles pays not that much basically you get stipend...pupilage yone🙊🙈
Criminal advocates don't lie, they just create reasonable doubt.
Sesi Atle, sooner or later, drop another video where you tell us the rest of the lawyers' misconceptions like...
1. Lawyers are cold-hearted (like how you defend someone who is a danger to society e.g., serial killer/rapist or drug lord).
2. lawyers are vultures of societal issues (like they make money off people's misfortunes).
3. Lawyers are more competitive than collaborative (like they refuse to work with a fellow or upcoming lawyer with the fear that they'll steal their clients and betray them if they do).
4. African lawyers are marginalised (like the jurisdiction favours the Caucasians more than Africans)
and more....
This is an interesting take. Thanks for the idea. I will 🥹
They are aggressive when it comes to their job lol
Katlego Motshabi sis Katli i disagree 😂
I’m a law student, but let’s be honest…legal fees are expensive!
Yes. We cannot afford ourselves.
