As part of its policy to promote the education of candidates to gain entry to the profession, the Law Society has, with the assistance of the Legal Practitioners’ Fidelity Fund and the Namibian Legal Practitioners’ Trust, continued to grant bursaries to a number of students.
The recipients thereof for 2018 are the following (in alphabetical order):

The amount spent on bursaries amount to N$210,000.00.
It would not have been possible for the LSN to award these bursaries if not for the continued financial contributions of the Legal Practitioners’ Fidelity Fund (LPFF) and the Namibian Legal Practitioners’ Trust (NLPT).
The LPFF contributed 2/3 rds of the bursary funds in the amount of N$140,000.00 and the NLPT contributed 1/3rd of the bursary funds in the amount of N$70,000.00.
We thank the NLPT and the LPFF for their continued commitment in investing in the future of our legal profession.
