I just realised Jeffy is 20 is this year and I’ve been with Sml since 2018

Hearing this in hindsight, it sounds like they always favoured the idea of having a general exam instead of specialisms

Will an AML role count as qualifying work experience on the SQE route?

hello, are the exams for SQE 2 (written and oral) by pen and paper or by computer?

I have a question about signing off by a solicitor that SRA regulated. I am based in the USA. I am interested in doing SQE and be admitted as a solicitor in the England and Wales. I have 15 years of experience working in the law firm and in house legal team and fulfilled the QWE. How can I get a solicitor confirming my experience?

Hay quá

Very useful 👍

Great work

Thanks for posting the video- very helpful!

Thanks alot for the video

We want to clarify a point in the webinar on whether an individual can remain employed as a paralegal following admission. If an individual is admitted as a solicitor, they can still be employed by a firm as a paralegal. They will, however, still need to have a practising certificate. The title of their role is a matter for the firm. We would not interfere provided that it is not misleading to clients. As with the current approach to qualification, firms will want to have conversations with individuals during qualification about the potential roles and opportunities available after admission.

Just came across this.... Great conversation to be had. Well done the SRA for at least taking the 1st step. Remembering that is all it is. It takes systemic action when these issues regarding racism occurs in practice. Race and class operate very differently and should not be talked about as if they are the same or suffer from the exact same consequences in their disadvantage. Just like one couldn't equate sex or disability discrimination with race. They can be intersectional but STILL operate independently in their consequence. As one of the panel members expressed so very, very well, class can be invisible, hidden via education process or go ignored but ethnicity cannot. As every highly successful Black person will tell you of their heinous encounters with racism despite their success and achievements. When I apply for a job, as a Black Woman, I'll look at the Company page and if I see a whole sea of White faces and maybe 1 Asian person and 'exceptionally' 1 Black person, I know it is not an environment for me because it's recruitment tells me there is clearly racism operating in that environment and they are not doing enough (if anything) to redress any imbalances. A token person of colour one can point to to show 'diversity' is an insidious part of the manipulation of racism and it's games, calculated to keep the status quo intact.

We just wanted to pick up on one additional point in response to feedback. For clarification, if you are a qualified lawyer who has completed the LPC - and are therefore exempt from the MCT - you must pass the QLTS OSCE, meet the character and suitability requirements and apply for admission by 2021. That is correct, but it is worth adding that due to the disruption caused by Covid-19, we at the SRA will also allow those who have passed the OSCE to apply for a waiver from the requirement to apply for admission before 1 September 2021. This is as long as the candidate has been admitted in another jurisdiction as a qualified lawyer before 1 September 2021. If you a candidate in this situation, you will have until 31 December 2021 to apply for admission .

can u send some reading material links about ethic discrepancy

Any idea on what unis are offering course on SQE for next year? Haven't seen many universities offering any for next as of yet. Given that student will need to apply soon for the next academic year shouldn't there be more on this?

How many years post qualified does a solicitor need to be before they can sign you off? Also, do they need any additional training or qualifications or authorizations in order to be able to sign off QWE?

Who signs you off at a law clinic i.e the citizens advice bureau where your supervisor is not always a solicitor?

Really enjoying these, thank you for providing

Thank you very much for this. It is very helpful.

Brilliant - thank you ☺️

awesome ,new layout in the world of #coronavirus #covid19 ,people stay safe ,enjoying my life as A #lawyer in year 2020

I think this is a fantastic move from the SRA to alter the route for becoming a solicitor. It provides more flexibility and is certainly more appealing to a person like me, who has undertaken a alternative career after completing their LLB. I’ll certainly be returning to the legal industry, and hopefully I can count my earlier 1 year paralegal experience. Thank you so much SRA!!!!

This is the most positive aspect of the new regime. The flexibilbity could mean an end to never ending paralegal work in the hope of getting a training contract.....

Where is the link for the sqe resources?

awesome content

If there are no essay questions, just multiple choice and no writing skills in SQE1 the legal professional will be fundamentally dumbed down. The fact BAME people in the tests did badly on the written essay questions and had poor written English is not a reason to remove that element as good written and spoken English is a key skill for solicitors. The earlier we can weed out people with poor skills in that area the better so they are not let loose on the general public. We need to ensure that those passing SQE1 have the skills of someone with a 3 year law degree or who would have passed the GDL. The first quesiton they show is wrong - why is the client able to sue - you are able to sue anyone. It misses a vital word - "successfully". Is anyone vetting these questions who understands proper English? I could sue the prime minster tomorrow for breach of covenant. I am allowed to do that. i am able to do that.; I can start the claim. I will not win but I can sue. Why should the student have to read in the word successfully?

Great video thank you for the explanation

Poor questions... Only the person writing could feasibly pass! I wonder if they tested these on students who were not solicitors, or merely, qualified, experienced lawyers. This is only SQE1! Remember this is supposed to be degree level/lpc?!? I.e those without a law degree should also be able to at least attempt this!

Terrible assesment methodology.

an excellent and informative lecture.

really helpful. very detailed info ! thank you

that was very helpful.. thank you
