THE RULES AND REGULATIONS ABOVE REFERRED TO.

3. Every candidate for admission as a barrister or as a solicitor of any superior Court or Supreme Court in any part of His Majesty’s dominions and who shall not be entitled to admission without further examination shall be examined only as to his knowledge of the law of New Zealand so far as it differs from the law of England.

4. No such candidate shall, notwithstanding that he shall have passed such examination, be entitled to be admitted as a barrister unless he has already been admitted as a barrister by such superior or Supreme Court.

5. Every candidate desiring to be examined under Rule 3 of these rules and regulations shall give to the Registrar of the University of New Zealand two months’ notice in writing of his desire to be so examined, and shall with such notice forward or pay to such Registrar a fee of £2 2s.

6. The examination of such candidate shall be conducted by examiners appointed for that purpose by the Senate of the University of New Zealand, and shall be held at such times and places as may be fixed by the Chancellor of the University with the approval of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

7. No candidate who, having presented himself for such examination, shall have failed to pass shall present himself again within six months from the date of the examination at which he has failed to pass without the special permission of the Chancellor of the University.

8. Every such candidate shall, not less than six months before the date at which he intends to apply for admission as a barrister or as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of New Zealand, give to the Registrar of the Supreme Court at the place where he intends to apply for such admission a written notice in triplicate stating the qualifications in respect of which such application is intended to be made.

9. Upon receipt of every such notice the Registrar to whom the same shall be given shall forthwith send one copy thereof to the secretary of the District Law Society for the district within which such Registrar shall reside, and one copy to the secretary of the New Zealand Law Society, Wellington.

10. All rules and regulations applying to the applications of barristers and solicitors admitted elsewhere for admission as barristers or solicitors of the Supreme Court of New Zealand now in force and not expressly revoked by the rules and regulations now made by us shall continue to apply to such candidates.

The following rules and regulations shall apply to the applications for admission by barristers and solicitors who are entitled to be admitted without further examination under subsection (a) of section 4 and subsection (b) of section 15 of “The Law Practitioners Act, 1908”:

1. Rule 3 of the foregoing rules and regulations shall not apply.

2. Every such person shall, not less than six months before the date on which he intends to apply for admission, give to the Registrar of the Supreme Court at the place at which he intends to apply for admission a written notice in triplicate stating the qualifications in respect of which such application is intended to be made, and the city or town in the United Kingdom where he was last in practice.

3. Upon receipt of such notice the Registrar to whom the same shall have been given shall forthwith send one copy thereof to the secretary of the District Law Society for the district within which such Registrar shall reside, and one copy to the secretary of the New Zealand Law Society, Wellington.

4. Every such person must produce to the Judge to whom he shall make his application for admission his certificate of his admission as a barrister or solicitor, as the case may be, or some certificate or other document, duly authenticated, which will sufficiently prove such admission, and which will also sufficiently prove that he has been in practice in some part of the United Kingdom for not less than three years.

5. He shall also make and file an affidavit that he is the person named in the said certificate or other document, and that he has been in practice as aforesaid, and shall in such affidavit state the city or town in which he was last in practice. If his qualification is that of a solicitor, he shall also state in such affidavit that he is still upon the rolls as such solicitor, and, if his qualification is that of a barrister, that he is still entitled to practise in the United Kingdom as a barrister. He shall also produce evidence of his good character to the satisfaction of the Judge to whom he applies for admission.

6. The fees to be paid by such person upon his admission as a barrister or as a solicitor, as the case may be, shall be the same fees as are payable upon the admission of barristers or solicitors previously admitted elsewhere and who are not entitled to be admitted without further examination.

The following rule and regulation shall apply to candidates for admission as barristers or solicitors who have not been previously admitted elsewhere:

Every such candidate shall, not less than two months before he shall apply for admission, give to the Registrar of the Supreme Court at the place where he intends to apply for admission a written notice in duplicate of such intention, and such Registrar shall forthwith forward one copy of such notice to the secretary of the District Law Society of the district within which such Registrar shall reside.
