Bridging Academic Excellence to Legal Practice

After completing the University of London LL.B, graduates must pass the Certificate in Legal Practice (CLP) to qualify as an advocate and solicitor and gain admission to the Malaysian Bar. The CLP is conducted by the Legal Profession Qualifying Board under the Legal Profession Act 1976 and is open to candidates who meet the minimum LL.B requirements.

At ATC College, students gain a strong advantage through practical, exam-focused training that balances academic knowledge with real-world legal application. Learning from experienced academics and practitioners—including CLP textbook authors—students are well equipped with the essential skills needed to succeed.

The CLP is held twice yearly: the main examination in July and the supplementary (re-sit) examination in October. Candidates must pass all five compulsory papers in one sitting.

Subjects

General Paper

In General Paper, you will be reading the Malaysian Tort and Contract Law. You will develop an in-depth understanding of the legal principles, rules, practices, procedures, case law, and its direct application. You will learn to draft, prepare Statements of Claim and other legal documentation.

In the subject of Evidence, you will be learning about a lot of interesting cases, and develop an in-depth understanding of the law governing the admissibility of evidence in Malaysia. You will be able to analyse cases, apply the legal principles, and present your argument practically in civil and criminal proceedings.

Civil Procedure is a very practical and applicable subject for work in a law firm. It is one of the heavier subjects, and you will have an advantage if you have some legal work experience. You must be familiar with the Rules of Court 2012. You will gain detailed knowledge of the procedures governing the stages of a trial, commencing in the High Courts and Subordinate Courts to judgement. 

In the Criminal Procedure subject, you will acquire a thorough understanding of the Malaysian criminal procedures, rules, and practices, which include topics such as Arrest, Bail, and Sentencing, Revisionary Powers, and Appeals. You will develop a deep understanding of the legal principles of Criminal Law and related legislation, and the different procedural rules in criminal matters to ensure proper and efficient administration of justice.

This subject is divided into 2 parts, Part A and Part B. Part A is about Ethics and Advocacy, focusing on the rules governing the professional conduct of advocates and solicitors. You will understand and appreciate the roles and responsibilities, liabilities, immunity, privileges, and ethics of the legal profession in Malaysia. In Part B, you will develop a comprehensive understanding of the principles of Malaysian Land Law, Probate Law, Bankruptcy, and Winding-Up Law. You will be able to identify issues and advise on evidence, liability, procedure and remedies, and draft pleadings.

After you have passed the CLP, you may proceed to undergo pupilage, or chambering, for 9 months, under a senior counsel, or master who has at least 7 years of legal experience. This industrial experience is a prerequisite in order to be called to the Malaysian Bar. And if you decide to enter into the corporate world instead, this highly-respected qualification adds weightage to your resume in your chosen field.

What Our Alumni Say

Studying with ATC has been a memorable experience. As the class rep of the 2021/2022 cohort, I experienced first-hand the high standard of ATC’s support system. The technical support whenever situations arose during hybrid classes were fast & management of the Facebook group ensured that class materials were not missed out. Classes were enriching & inspiring. The positive atmosphere in every class just made learning with ATC a much more enjoyable experience.

My experience of studying CLP with ATC is that it was memorable and fun. It was not one-man journey. The interaction between the fellow classmates as well as the lecturers do reduced the amount of stress I felt. I’m feeling grateful that I actually met good classmates who willing to share their knowledges and provide support to each other.

I definitely could not have made it this far without the lecturers. The lecturers at ATC are superb. They answered any questions posed by the students. They prepared their materials well before class. They made sure that the students follow what they were teaching. They were also very caring and always had the students’ best interests at heart.

I am no stranger to ATC. I began my journey here in A-levels followed by my LLB & then CLP.I was most satisfied with the CLP lecturers as they were all very knowledgeable & had a lot of experience in the field as most of them are practicing lawyers. They were always ready to answer questions. I’d like to especially thank Dato’ Kevin Joshua who shared his experiences & Mr. Ravi for the interactive classes every week.

I loved the fact that the classes were live & recorded at the same time. I’d like to thank ATC for constantly updating their lecture notes & class recording list. Without this, it would have been difficult for me to revise & study.

I want to thank the coordinator Ms. Kashmir & all lecturers for their dedication in making sure we got most of the subjects they taught. The lecturers were genuinely caring & often motivated the students in the way they knew best. The revision classes covering past years’ questions were very helpful. The hybrid mode of delivery, physical and online, surely was a good approach as the students could choose the mode that suited them best. I attended both the physical and online classes and made the best of these options!
