| The legal profession in Mauritius is divided into barristers, attorneys and notaries. Barristers specialise in advocacy and consultancy. Attorneys are mostly involved in the procedural aspect of litigation whereas notaries deal mainly with conveyancing and succession.
Most barristers have been trained in the United Kingdom or France, but the setting up of a Law and Management Faculty at the University of Mauritius and Bar Courses given by the Council of Legal Education enable law practitioners to graduate and get trained locally. |
