The primary purpose behind the development of the lawyers' training program is to standardize the training of future generations of lawyers in the globalization era. Achieving this goal is critical to ensure that lawyers' attain a minimum level of legal knowledge and advocacy skills before they take on the responsibilities associated with representing clients before the courts. Additionally, the training plan has been designed to increase public confidence in the legal system by setting clear ethical standards for the practice of law and training future lawyers about their ethical obligations to society and the role they play in promoting the integrity of the legal system as a whole.
