Process from Law School to practice:

Qualifying as a Lawyer:
Students who obtain one of our LL.B degrees may claim exemption from the first part of the Bar and The Law Society Examinations, as their program has included the seven core subjects, namely, Criminal Law, Land Law, Equity (Trusts), Constitutional Law, The Law of Negligence, Selected Topics in Torts and Private Law Remedies (Torts), Contractual Obligations (Contract) and the Legal Foundations of the European Union (European Law). Students who obtain the LLB (Law with Business Studies) will be in the same position, provided that they do not opt out of any of the courses comprising the core subjects. These exemptions are the same as those obtainable by the majority of law degrees in England and Wales, and are also available to students passing the Diploma in Legal Studies (CPE).

Barristers:
In order to practice in England and Wales the intending barrister must first join an Inn of Court. Many students do this while taking their degree. The School has its own Inns of Court Students’ Association from which details can be obtained about joining an Inn. On successful completion of the degree intending barristers must take a further one-year full-time course, the Bar Vocational Course leading to the second part of the Bar examination. There then follows a one-year period of Pupillage – a form of apprenticeship in a barrister’s chambers.

Solicitors:
On completion of their degree intending solicitors also take a one-year full-time course. This is called the Legal Practice Course (LPC). Thereafter, there is a two-year training contract (apprenticeship in a firm of solicitors), all or most of which must be taken after completing the LPC. Fuller information on both the Bar and the Solicitors’ professions is given in the Law School Handbook.
