Speaker\nRebecca Kadaga has cautioned Uganda Christian University (UCU) law students\nagainst practicing law without completing the Bar course at the Law Development\nCentre (UCU).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She\nsaid that lawyers who go ahead without the professional course endanger the\nwork of other lawyers and in turn, affect the justice system in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf\nyou practice without the professional Bar course, you risk being disbarred and\nthis affects your whole career. LDC is tougher than the degree course. It is\nshort and intense but with determination and concentration, you can achieve\nit,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kadaga\nwho was officiating at the UCU Law society dinner over the weekend at Serena\nHotel also advised the students to desist from engaging in acts of dishonesty\nin their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen\nyou cheat, in the long run, the law will catch up with you. All you need to do\nis prepare adequately as lawyers and execute your work without cheating,\u201d she\nsaid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nDean of the Law Faculty, Dr. Roselyn Karugunju also re-echoed the Speaker\u2019s\nadvice to the students, saying that once they engage in cheating in their work,\nthey will live in fear instead of practicing freely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo\nnot use shortcuts to earn money. Be authentic and genuine in your transactions,\u201d\nshe said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She\nalso urged the students to strive to be leaders who provide solutions and not\nonly criticise the status quo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nstudents elected a new executive whose term will run for a year, with the\noutgoing president of the UCU Law society, Shamma Kabasiita calling on students\nto uphold the virtue of respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor\none to make a successful lawyer, you must be respectful. Humility seems like a\nsmall thing to do, but it means a lot,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She\nurged the new leadership to be servant leaders and remain a good example\nthrough their acts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
