Law School Examiners for Final Examination - First Part

The timetable for the 33rd Professional Course includes a two week break during August, 1993. The terminal date in each case is the last date of class contact, and the conveyancing examination for each course will occur approximately ten days after that date. This should be borne in mind both by apprentices and offices in arranging their respective commitments. There may be some minor modification of the commencement or termination dates. These would be liable to variation if there were to be an increase in the time allocation for existing subjects or an introduction of any new subjects or due to the vagaries of examination timetabling. There are currently 91 students on each Professional Course. At the time of going to print the 33rd and 34th and 35th Professional Courses are completely full. The earliest that any law graduate qualifying from his or her university in 1993 will be able to attend on the Professional Course is in August, 1994.
