    Can you be a “Trainee Solicitor” if you have technically already qualified through the SQE?

However, I still want to complete my training contract for the experience. I just would like to have...

    Hello everyone. I've been scouring this forum for a couple of hours now and am therefore a bit embarrassed to post due to my query. However, for the most part this does seem like a safe space, so here goes: I graduated from UEA back in 2010 with a Ba (Hons) in Film & Media. My result was a 2:2...

    SQE prep: I’ve not been a student in years

    Hi guys, I’m fortunate enough to be starting my SQE in September sponsored by a firm. I’m pretty stressed in advance because I can see that a lot of the course is self study.

    Is it worth self-funding SQE1+2 after GDL? / please help me figure out a strategy

    Hi, if anyone can help me, I would be very grateful. I just finished my PGDL last month, which was entirely self-funded as I didn’t apply for VS/TC during undergrad.
