After a quarter-century of uninterrupted professional training, 2020 marked a new season with exciting developments for us. You see, the Centre for Conveyancing Practice, established in 1994, and the Gawie le Roux School for Legal Training, established in 2012, started trading under one new brand - the Gawie le Roux Institute of Law. It all started in 1994 when Gawie put pen to paper and produced
the unique and highly successful Self-study Deeds Course. He saw the high demands of the conveyancing examination and was convinced that his comprehensive set of notes would enable people to prepare effectively for the exam and pass with flying colours. Lo and behold, the enterprise grew into the only bilingual and the biggest private training institution in the field of conveyancing and notarial practice in South Africa. As the years went by we steadily expanded our array of courses, producing unique diplomas for secretaries and paralegals, a practical course in conveyancing, a conveyancing examination workshop, a course in notarial practice, short preparation courses for the attorneys’ admission examinations, and an impressive number of seminars on various legal topics. The golden thread that runs through all of our courses and seminars is the exceptional quality of our notes and manuals, with which we strive to empower all those working in the legal profession to behold the beauty of the law. For us, the law is not cold and impersonal. No, indeed, it is pure and clean and beautiful – in the same way that the sheer logic of mathematics is stunning in its beauty. Consider the way in which the law forms a perfect whole when it’s not corrupted, the way it permeates our existence and simplifies life when we pay it due respect, the way in which it enables us “to live honestly, to hurt no man willfully, and to render every man his due carefully,” which is, ask Aristotle, the precepts of the law.
