Pre training to become a Barrister
London College of Legal Studies (South), with the brilliant initial idea from two barristers, Mr. M Istiaq Hasan and Mr. Rezwanul Haque Mazumdar, has pioneered a professional training course – Pre-Training Programme (PTP) for Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC), the professional course that leads to the qualification of a Barrister.
PTP is a comprehensive training programme conducted to ensure better understanding of the BPTC. PTP for BPTC would be conducted at the London College of Legal Studies (South) in its own Campus situated in Kalabagan. The course conducted for the first time last year in connection with top BPTC providers of the UK had been a tremendous success and highly appreciated by the participants and BPTC providers themselves. The course, this year, has received support and endorsement from as many as five UK Universities, namely, University of West of England (Bristol), Cardiff University, University of Northumbria, BPP Law School and University of Law. Besides the PTP has achieved outstanding admirations from the teachers of different UK universities.
The programme will be run over two weeks. The structure adopted in this course is very akin to any bar provider in the UK comprising of large group lectures and small group practice sessions. Barrister Kevin Crawley, Programme Lead of the BPTC (Full Time) of Northumbria University School of Law UK,, who is set to attend the Course, said last time, “The PTP will be an invaluable opportunity for the students. It is the most testing educational experience the students so far.”
Head of Laws of the LCLS Barrister Khaled Hamid Chowdhury said that the PTP would help build a foundation for the prospective BPTC candidates and develop their perception. The objective is to elevate the quality of future barristers.
Delyth James, Associate Head of Bristol Institute of Legal Practice of University of the West of England (Bristol) said, “ The Bar Professional Training Course ('BPTC') is very challenging. Therefore, this innovative course will be a great benefit to those of you who intend to undertake your 'BPTC' in England or Wales as it will give you an insight of the expectations/demands involved with undertaking the BPTC.”
The course this time will also include a dinner in the Inns of Courts style to be hosted in the Marble Room of Ruposhi Bangla Hotel on the 21st of June 2013. Distinguished legal personalities and representatives from the different UK Universities will also grace the occasion. This unique course started from 15th of June 2013 and will end on the 29th of June 2013.
