Why should unemployed LLB graduates have to pay almost R22k?...They should offer practicals as part of the degree just like there are doing in Teaching qualifications.

I need LLB students or holders to be treated like all other degree holders who are able to do practicals within the curriculum while studying for their degrees

I am a law student and I come from a disadvantage family whereby my parents are trying so hard to make end meets to be able to help continue with my studies as nsfas has been giving me problems. So I see it not fair for us to pay our fees then later we also have to pay to do practicals.

I’m signing this petition because I’m from a poor background. As an LLB final year student, this directly disadvantages me.

Paying off student debt and having to pay for PVT school has caused a huge burden on us as students

Unemployed graduates can't afford PVT.

All law students should have the opportunity to complete PLT in university already and not have to worry about the cost implications afterwards.

Jaden Beukes (Upington, Northern Cape, 2026-03-14)

Because I am an LLB graduate that struggles to secure articles and cannot raise funds for Law school!!

What the council is doing is unfair, mostly to graduates from a disadvantaged families.

Because I also support and agree with everything that Thendo Livhalani has said.

I am one of the Graduates who's currently affected with this 22k for law school. I am signing in order to free some other graduates from having to experience what i experience after graduation.

Luda Mkan (Alberton, 2026-03-14)

As a final year LLB student, I will be badly affected if I have to go through Vocational Training with that little amount. I'm from a rural area, which means I will have to move to bigger town or cities for employment opportunities. The cost of rental property combined with living expenses would make it impossible to finish the course on such a little income.

PLT / Law school is expensive for graduates

Nhlulo Lencon Manganyi (Limpopo, 2026-03-14)

#87

The on coming students do not necessarily have to struggle. Even if the curriculum extends in the number of years. Encoporate teaching and practicals so they can venture and have a way to follow. Rather than struggles of getting articles.

Or ask a certain number of articles for the student to get and Institution should assist I. Placements!!!

Encoporate teaching with practice of law in their higher learning

I'm a student in Unisa studying an LLB and deeply feel that the PLT should be part of the LLB curriculum

Because I belive student should not suffer to complete PVT at their own expense and on their on

I'm also affected because I'm from a disadvantage background

Phila Khoza (Nelspruit, 2026-03-14)

I know it how feels like to be an unemployed LLB Graduate because most Law Firms require PLT/PVT and you cannot afford to pay for Law School.

We're only asking Legal Practice Council, Law Society of South Africa, and LEAD to change and integrate the 6 months PVT

sharon mohlala (polokwane, 2026-03-14)

I am signing this petition because many LLB graduates, including myself, face financial challenges after completing our degree. Paying such a high amount for PVT/PLT delays or prevents many capable students from entering the legal profession. Practical training should form part of the LLB programme to make the profession more accessible.

LLB should have practicals to give Llb graduates experience.

Khanyisa Joyile (East London, 2026-03-14)

#128

I'm signing because I agree 100%with you. This petition is valid and necessary because graduates are suffering out there because of lack of funds and we end up saying a law career is costly, if you dont come from an advantageous family you in trouble, you might even end up depressed, because where will you get money to pay for law school and practical legal training? and also stress about data because now majority offer online classes.
We beg the LPC and Law society of South Africa to consider the needs and struggles of students who cannot afford to pay their way through law school and practical legal training to please include the 6 months PVT course into LLB curriculum.

Karabo Sebitlo (Johannesburg, 2026-03-14)

I'm signing this petition because I'm a recent UNISA graduate and currently struggling to secure articles of clerkship, minimum requirements are always PVT/PLT. I am amongst the non-affording graduates, I come from a humble background and these requirements disadvantages me because I can't afford to put myself through law school.

I am signing this petition because it is my wish that LLB students are given a chance to do practicals during their third or fourth year degree without having to pay for.

Anele Cwele (Durban, 2026-03-14)

I am an LLB student who is concerned about her future and dream of becoming an admitted attorney of the high court because of the financial costs to be incurred first before my dreams can be fulfilled.I believe that signing this petition will make a huge difference especially for us who come from disadvantaged families.

For PVT/PLT to be part of LLB curriculum in 4th year

Niniwe Chamango (Tzaneen, 2026-03-14)

#146

I'm a law student who wish to stand in court and fight people's rights and be the voice of the voiceless.
But there are challenges that I've realized that they might prohibit my dreams...
Right now,I'm just studying by God's grace, because I've realized that achieving LLB is quite expensive.
I can't pay minimum registration but I'm expected to raise R22000,how will I raise R22,000?it means my dreams will be stuck because of R22 000.
We are from different families and some of us are currently unemployed.
All we need is a chance to change our lives.
It means my dreams will be stuck

I am an LLB student and i feel it help with acquiring hands on experience and enhancing one's knowledge and understanding of the profession.

Sibusiso B Moyo (Pretoria, 2026-03-14)

#155

I’m adding my voice to demand that the Legal Practice Council, Law Society of South Africa, and LEAD rethink the structure of legal training. By integrating PVT into the LLB, they can remove unnecessary financial barriers, ensure equal access, and prepare graduates more effectively for practice.

In short I’m signing because i believe legal education should empower, not exclude.

Tshiwela Cecilia Munarini (Bloemfontein, 2026-03-14)

I'm a Second year LLB student who wants to be an advocate , all we learn is threory and there are no practicals . It is a great sorrow knowing that you only learn knowledge and principles but unable to apply due to lack of practice and practice costs , as many are unable to afford leading to unemployment . I believe change will provide theory and practice so that LLB graduates will have an advantage of employment

Mbali Khanyile (Pretoria, 2026-03-14)

I'm also suffering the same fate. I'm coming from a disadvantage family which can't afford this and I'm stuck

Amahle Gasa (Durban, 2026-03-14)

#165

I agree with everything being said!! As a 3rd year LLB student, the cost of PLT is a major barrier. Integrating practical training into the curriculum and making it more accessible would make a huge difference.

Keikopetse Chantel Tooka (Johannesburg, 2026-03-14)

#171

I am an LLB student who comes from a disadvantaged background. Funded by NSFAS through the course. I have no idea how to pay for the programme. In a country with such high unemployment it is irrational to ask that graduates pay such high amounts so that they can practice in their field of study but not ensure them jobs.

Mandisinde Abraham (Bloemfontein, 2026-03-14)

Let Legal practice be part of the LLB degree. It is hard to afford over R20 000 as a newly degree holder for PVT.

I’m a law student and I would like to see this change implemented.

I am a LLB student at UP and think that it’s unfair that medical students do their practicals as part of their curriculum but Law students have to pay for their practicals. That’s nonsensical.
