Why this matters for law students
- The single most important site for a final-year law student: it licenses advocates in Nepal
- Download the Advocate Level examination syllabus and past application forms
- Registration notices for each Advocate Level written exam (numbered batches, e.g. 29th, 33rd, 34th)
- Examination stages: MCQ, written paper, then viva voce; results published on the site
- Disciplinary Committee decisions, professional conduct rules and the advocate roll
- Eligibility requires Nepali citizenship, an LL.B from a recognised university, and passing the Council examination, followed by mandatory basic training
Direct links worth knowing
Note: Do not confuse the Nepal Bar Council (the statutory licensing regulator) with the Nepal Bar Association (the professional association of practising advocates) – they are different bodies with different websites.
