Over 474 lawyers on Thursday received their post graduate diplomas from the Law Development Centre.

Out of the 474, 270 were awarded Diploma in Legal Practice while 203 received Diploma in Law.

The number of graduands at LDC continues to dwindle, something attributed on the reduced number of admissions.

In 2011 a total of 480 lawyers graduated at LDC compared to 698 in 2010.

The Speaker of parliament, Rebecca Kadaga presided over the graduation ceremony. One must pass all LDC papers to appear on the graduation list.
