Botswana is a common-law and Roman-Dutch-law jurisdiction with a fused profession whose practitioners are called legal practitioners (commonly attorneys). Lawyers work in private firms in Gaborone, as state counsel and prosecutors in the Attorney-General's Chambers and Directorate of Public Prosecutions, and in compliance, legal and company-secretarial roles at banks, mining companies and parastatals. Gaborone is the main legal centre.
A candidate earns an LLB degree (from the University of Botswana or another prescribed university), serves a period of pupillage under a registered pupil master (or obtains an exemption), and passes the prescribed practical/bar examinations where required. They then petition the High Court to be admitted and enrolled as a legal practitioner and apply to the Registrar for a practising certificate.
