Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Entering the legal, judiciary or notarial profession is a narrow doorway guarded by examinations which are under the responsibility of the Council for Vocational and Legal Education (CVLE).<\/p>\n

These are costly affairs that have often been decried as unduly restrictive, with high failure rates, without appropriate results analysis, guidance or commentary that could serve both students and their teaching staff. It is time to find more suitable alternatives says Lex in his commentary below.<\/p>\n

* Getting through the vocational course for law practitioners in order to qualify as a barrister, attorney or even \u2013 the hardest of the lot \u2013 as a public notary appears to be a very tall order for the majority of students.<\/p>\n

Failure rate is quite high, and though exam results of recent past years show an improvement in performance, it still appears to be a hard nut to crack for most students. Isn\u2019t that the way it should be?<\/p>\n

If there is one thing for which the Council for Vocational and Legal Education (CVLE) is recognised for, it is the high rate of failure at each examination held year in and year out.<\/p>\n

This baffles not only students but also lecturers. It should not be forgotten that the fees for following the CVLE course runs into Rs 100,000 annuallyand examinationfees come to about Rs 50,000.<\/p>\n

Can one imagine a student coming from a modest family background having to attempt the examinations four times or more and spend nearly half a million rupees without being told why he failed the exams? What is the standard that the examiners expect?<\/p>\n

* Lots of students would like to believe that the level of the exams is so high as to set students up to fail \u2013 for different reasons.<\/p>\n

The Vocational Council of Legal Education may rightly want to uphold the standard and reputation of the profession, and students need therefore to study hard to make it at the exams. Isn\u2019t that the bottom line?<\/p>\n
