When you've completed PLTC and your articles are almost complete, your principal <span class="noglossary">will</span> have to furnish the law society with a sworn declaration stating that you are ready and <span class="noglossary">competent</span> to practice as a lawyer. You must ensure the law society gets your principal's declaration or you <span class="noglossary">will</span> not be ''called to the bar'', which is a term for the formal ceremony admitting you as a lawyer. PLTC <span class="noglossary">will</span> forward your marks to the law society for you.
