The legal sector in South Africa is centred in Johannesburg and Cape Town for private practice, with Bloemfontein hosting the Supreme Court of Appeal and a significant legal community. The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the Department of Justice, the Auditor-General, and all major government departments employ legal professionals for compliance, advisory, and litigation functions. Candidate attorneys must complete articles at an accredited law firm or the State Attorney before being admitted to practice. Access to justice NGOs and Chapter 9 institutions also employ legal professionals.
Admission as an attorney requires an LLB degree (four years post-matriculation since 2015) plus a two-year articles clerkship. Admission as an advocate requires the LLB plus pupillage at a bar. For government legal roles, a legal degree plus admission is standard for senior posts; paralegal and legal secretary roles may accept diplomas. The Public Prosecutors Act governs NPA appointments.
Admitted attorneys at large law firms in Johannesburg and Cape Town earn between R400,000 and R800,000 per year in the first three years post-articles. Government legal posts (State Attorney, NPA, department legal advisors) are graded at salary levels 8 to 13 and earn between R400,000 and R900,000 depending on level. The NPA Aspirant Prosecutor programme offers a structured entry point for LLB graduates into the prosecution service.
