Justice Lee Swee Seng, however, directed Jude (pix) to undergo eight hours of human rights training with the Bar Council within three months from today before he can be admitted as an Advocate and Solicitor of the High Court of Malaya.

In turning down an objection by the Bar Council, which refused Jude’s petition to be a lawyer, Justice Lee said his ruling should not be viewed as a punishment but as a time of effective rehabilitation for the petitioner.
