The chairperson of the Angolan Bar Association (OAA), Inglês Pinto revealed that from now onwards people who wish to become lawyers in the country will necessarily have to attend an updating course, in which they will learn about the civil, penal, multidisciplinary process and about professional ethics and deontology.
Speaking to ANGOP, here, the official affirmed that "regarding law, in a one-month period, a study centre will be inaugurated and our colleagues who enrolled as future lawyers will, necessarily, attend a course in which they will be assessed and refreshed on the most practical knowledge". Attention shall be paid to the aspect of the quality of service of law in the country, stressed the source. Therefore, he advanced that those who received certificates, this year, will attend the course. "The lack of lawyers cannot make us promote mediocrity. It is better to have less, but professionals, than to have many without quality and who create more problems to citizens", he emphasized.
In his speech, he reminded that the National Institute of Legal Studies (INEJ) is concerned on setting certain strictness in terms of the quality of staff who will work in the magistracy, whether public, or legal. The courses will have six months of practice and theory, followed by a final exam.
