About Lesego
"I studied my BCom Law and LLB degrees at IIE MSA, now Emeris. I currently work as a legal assistant for Cox Energy South Africa and plan to write the board exams in March while trying to secure articles in 2027."
On enrolling at the Gawie le Roux Institute of Law
"There were great reviews about the School and a friend had also recommended it."
"Each lecturer was different and impactful in their own way. Mr Johan van Stade was especially impressive."
400-hour vs 150-hour PVT programme of structured course work
"The 400-hour programme was always the plan because I intended to obtain articles, write boards exams and get admission as soon as possible. That was my preferred timeline."
The mock trial
"It really brought the theory to life. We expanded on what we learned at university and gained genuine, practical insight directly from people working in the field."
Lesego's tips for PVT students
"Choosing the right school for your PVT is important and Gawie le Roux is the best choice. It’s also important to have a set schedule and pace yourself."
What's next?
"I am looking to write the board exams in March and eventually pursue an LLM in Intellectual Property Law."
