1

Civil Court Practice

This paper focuses exclusively on mechanisms for resolving civil disputes.  It covers High Court practice, Magistrates’ Court practice, personal injury claims (including Road Accident Fund claims), and the drafting of commercial contracts.

2

Criminal Court Practice and ICT

This is now an entirely independent assessment dedicated to criminal procedures.  It isolates criminal trials, bail applications, and constitutional rights of accused persons, while adding a modern module on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for practice and basic cyber law.

3

Wills and Estates

This paper retains the traditional focus of the previous Paper 2, covering the practice and procedure relating to the winding up and distribution of deceased estates, intestate succession, and the drafting of wills.

4

Professional Legal Ethics, Constitutional Practice, Labour Dispute Resolution, and ADR

This segment removes public law and ethical duties from the general practice paper.  It assesses professional conduct guidelines, the application of the Bill of Rights, Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) processes, and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) under Rule 41A of the Uniform Rules.

5

Legal Accounting, Legal Costs, and Practice Management

Building on the foundational bookkeeping principles of the old Paper 4, this paper expands to include practical firm administration.  It covers trust account management, the calculation and taxation of legal costs, and a mandatory introduction to practice management.
