South African Law School

The South African Law School, conveniently situated on Adderley Street in Cape Town, provides training for legal support staff of professional practices, financial institutions, corporations and those wanting to embark upon a legal career.

Certain courses conducted by the school also appeal to the self-employed businessperson or owners of small to medium companies.

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."  Nelson Mandela

The school offers the most comprehensive training for Paralegals of any private institution. We have developed a unique programme that combines essential legal knowledge and "hands-on" practical training (applied skills).

Our practical training includes clinical practice where our students spend time in our Community Law Centre assisting members of the public with legal and related issues.

As far as we are aware we are the only private school that takes its training to that level.

The South African Law School is fully accredited by SASSETA (the Safety and Security SETA) and by ICSA (Institute of Chartered Secretaries).
