Hi all. I have a friend who is a practicing lawyer, she wishes to join ca course now. Kindly tell me

1. Can a practicing lawyer join ca course under direct entry scheme?

2. If so what are all the formalities before joining?

Back note:- Dont ask me to contact regional centers. i called them so may times all my phone calls left unanswered.

Thank u in advance.
