Dear Rookie Advocate

Dear Rookie Advocate,

This post is for anyone who has practised law at least one day in their lives:

What do you wish you had been taught in law school or while studying for the bar exam?
It can be anything, big or small, from Bill of Costs to how to greet a client when they walk into your offices. Anything.

Looking forward to all the responses.

They say be who you needed when you were younger. In this article, our Co-Founder Edwina is exactly who she needed when she joined Local Government, a big sister with some tell all insights into the system.
Please share your thoughts and happy reading.

“indulge me for a moment, I’m actually reaching out for a bit of advice. I recently joined the Local Authority as Council Advocate. I’ll be establishing and heading the Legal Unit. It’s an exciting opportunity, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little nervous.”

Last week, the Zambian Supreme Court was lively with the admission to the Bar of 398 advocates.
We would like to send out a massive Dear Rookie Advocate congratulations to every one of you and welcome you to this very noble profession.
We have so much advice to share, obviously, but first, enjoy the sherry. 😃

If you are inclined to read though, here's one post to start you off.
Compliments of the season.
