Your Membership consists of two parts, Paralegal Services and Insurance Cover. The current set-up of the legal profession in South Africa does not permit lawyers other than those in private practice to appear in court. We, therefore, do not represent our Members in court, but pay a practising lawyer (Attorney and/or Advocate) legal expenses when required. All non-litigious matters are handled by our Paralegal Services Department where some of our staff are non-practising, but duly admitted and enrolled attorneys or advocates.
