Completion of Lawyer Training Program Requires Immediate Registration for Internship?

View Post in Vietnamese: >> Học xong lớp đào tạo luật sư phải đăng ký tập sự ngay?

I would like to inquire about the case where an individual is granted a Certificate of Law Practice Training. Usually, they can apply for an internship right away. However, is this a mandatory requirement or not?

Based on Clause 5, Article 1 of the Law on Lawyers amended in 2012, the provisions on apprenticeship for practicing as a lawyer are as follows:

Individuals who possess a Certificate of Graduation in Legal Training and those specified in Clause 2, Article 16 of this Law are eligible to apprentice in legal practice organizations.

The period for legal practice apprenticeship is twelve months, except for cases specified in Clause 2 and Clause 3, Article 16 of this Law. The period of legal practice apprenticeship is calculated from the date of registration for apprenticeship with the Bar Association.

Therefore, under the current regulations, it is not mandatory to commence the apprenticeship immediately after obtaining the Certificate of Graduation in Legal Training. Rather, it is the individual's right to register for apprenticeship at a different time or even opt not to register if they do not wish to continue the path to becoming a lawyer in Vietnam.

Respectfully!
