attorney must, inter alia, be an effective manager and
service provider. Competencies are characteristics

competencies which attorneys require to perform

needs of attorneys in the identified competencies were
investigated.
The competencies were initially identified by means of
a literature review and interviews with senior members
of the legal profession. The thirty-one competencies
so identified formed the basis for a questionnaire
which was administered to practising attorneys. The
85 respondents rated the importance of the
competencies and determined the need for training in
these competencies.
The survey revealed that twenty-nine competencies were
considered important for effective management and
service provision. The competencies were ranked in
