Attorney provides clarity on a pupillage

According to Kim Siljeur, an attorney based in Cape Town, a pupillage is a year-long training to become an advocate.

Providing more information on the role of an advocate, the attorney adds:

"Advocates are specialist litigators. So, where most attorneys may be pushing paperwork, advocates appear in court. They are the ones with the robes and bibs."

Advocate moves back home at age 26

Briefly News previously reported that a young, qualified and admitted advocate took to social media to share the reality of falling on hard times.

Naledi (@kingnaledi) said she moved back home at 26 because practising law was not financially sustainable. She further stated that she was not giving up on the dream. Instead, she gave herself some grace and allowed things to move at God's pace.
