Legal Education System in Malaysia: An Overview
Journal Title: Qlantic Journal of Social Sciences - QJSS - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Over the years, legal education in Malaysia has been improving due to the participation of the stakeholders. This contributes positively to the Malaysian legal system. Furthermore, both Shari’ah Law and Civil Law play their roles in the improvement of the judicial system. Most of the institutions that offer legal education ensure adequate curriculum structure, theoretical-practical learning, and competent law educators are part of the system. However, there are some challenges present in the current legal education system, which are highlighted by stakeholders such as faculty members, members of the Bar, and judges. Hence, this paper analyses the Malaysian legal education system from the historical background to the present. Also, the paper gives an in-depth analysis of the quality assurance mechanism adopted in legal education. This exploratory study summarizes the past and present position, explores the challenges, and ends with recommendations for improvement of the legal education system.
