Review about LPAB (Legal Profession Admission Board)
very poor quality in service and very unprofessional. The Diploma Course is not recommended. Don't waste your money on it because its not accredited at other universities in relation to undergrad courses. Many legal practitioners and Universities do not respect the Diploma Course. Under Rule 67 of the Admission Board Rules a Student-at-Law could be made to resit some or all of their previously passed exams. There are no tutorials, no mentoring programs The same people chair various internal review Committees with the Executive Officer as the secretariat on each level (creates prejudicial unfairness because there is NO independent review). As if those people are going to correct themselves?. Fees are non-refundable. No HECS Bully style environment. The administration 'silences' any criticism with threats and intimidation. Some lecturers provide no materials (no powerpoints, notes, slides) and some dont want to answer questions during lectures! and some cant even be bothered to stick around for more than 2 hours when their paid to turn up just once a week for a 3 hour lecture. Sorry to say it..its dangerous, reckless and irresponsible for the LPAB to be running a course with such poor ethical, professional and educational standards. Both clients and law firms deserve better...and this needed to come out. Hope this has been helpful, Anonymous
