There was n need for that to happen under Amin's Uganda. Why? The country was
under the rule of the gun, fear and anarchy. The Justice system of law and
order had earlier lost it's purpose when the Chief Justice was dragged during
day light from his court chambers.
Besides, the intake of law students then, was much smaller compared to today.
Kale oli bubi!!

I34 lawyers ordered to re-sit exams
Law Development Centre (LDC) students celebrate during their graduation
ceremony.

In Summary
LDC is the only institution in the country that admits law graduates to obtain
diplomas in legal practice .A lawyer cannot practice as an advocate in Uganda
without the diploma. Over the years, there have been calls to break the
monopoly of LDC to offer the bar course but this move has faced stiff
resistance from the Law Council, which argues that opening up the market could
compromise the standards
KAMPALA.
A total of 134 lawyers who did their final examinations at the Law Development
Centre (LDC) in August have been ordered to re-sit some papers if they are to
practice law or be considered for graduation which is slated for March next
year.
This group is part of the 301 lawyers who registered for the post- graduate
diploma in legal studies last year.
Mr Hamis Lukyamuzi the LDC spokesperson said that the group will not practice
law until they re-sit and pass the papers they failed.
“The fact is that, they can neither graduate nor practice law unless they first
re-sit all the papers they failed. The earlier the better for them,” said LDC
spokesperson, Mr Lukyamuzi said in an interview on Tuesday.
According to the examinations results released by LDC, a total of 105 passed
out rightly, 37 passed by compensation –meaning they failed to get the 50
percent pass mark in some papers and examiners deducted from other papers to
add where one was weak, seven lawyers failed the course, nine missed the exams,
one died while six abandoned the course .
Two lawyers were discontinued after failing both oral and written practical
examinations which they were supposed to pass by 50 percent pass mark.
A total of 279 lawyers passed the compulsory subject which has not been the
case in the last decade. The compulsory subject is a combination of core
subjects including; Professional Conduct, Judicial Conduct, Revenue Law &
Taxation and Accountancy for Lawyers.
Other well done subjects include; Civil Proceedings, Criminal Proceedings and
Domestic Relations.
Lukyamuzi attributed the good performance to a number of interventions
including among others, assigning each student a lecturer to act as
professional mentor and academic parent for personal guidance –something that
never used to happen in the past.
“These days we test our students’ ability to think critically, analytically and
to apply the law, and this is one of the methods that have enabled many pass
our exams these days,” he said

LDC is currently in the process of reviewing its curriculum for the bar course
that will see some subjects which have been compulsory made optional.
