Cyprus: New Framework for Lawyer Admission from 2030

The Cyprus Bar Council has announced a reform of the framework for admitting lawyers to the profession, aiming to strengthen practical training and upgrade the skills of new lawyers. The new framework will take effect on July 1, 2030, with a transitional period for existing trainees. The changes include reorganizing courses into thematic compositions, mandatory attendance of remote lectures, and a new examination system. The new system aims for a more comprehensive and modern preparation of lawyers for the demands of the profession.
