Abstract: | This article discusses legal education in Zambia, its development and its present organization. In Zambia local institutions were created in the early sixties to provide for legal education. Until then the training of lawyers was undertaken in Britain. The programmes adopted in Zambia were developed in a period of acute shortages of lawyers. Now that the present arrangements have produced sufficient numbers of lawyers, the time has come to reflect on the programmes offered and to design programmes whose emphasis is upon quality and the long-term needs of the country.
