  Legal Practice skills deal with the skills that a legal practitioner needs to practice law completely. It is necessary to distinguish between knowledge and skills. Knowledge refers to an understanding of a body of law in an area of law. Practitioners have knowledge of substantive and procedural laws through their legal training at the academic and vocational stages at university and the Law school. Skill refers to the ability to apply knowledge of the law to solve a legal problem. The distinction between knowledge and skill is often expressed as “know-what” and “know-how” respectively, the former referring to knowledge and the latter to skill. For example, an understanding of criminal law deals with knowledge, but the ability to institute or defend a criminal action deals with skills.
