Apply to the Sierra Leone Law School

Admissions into the Sierra Leone Law School

The one-year Law School programme is designed to prepare candidates for the Final Examination that all intending legal practitioners must pass before being admitted to practice law in Sierra Leone.

Since the profession is fused in Sierra Leone, the practitioner can act as a solicitor and a barrister.
The training is therefore geared towards teaching those practical skills which are necessary for the work of a solicitor or barrister.
