[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 194950, member: 2672"] Yes, I have. But I have also seen people not be able to qualify for similar reasons. As mentioned, it’s really going to depend on the severity of the circumstances - for instance a simple lack of appropriate referencing or self plagiarism is going to be looked at very differently to clear plagiarism (e.g. bought essays). It’s also going to depend on the character references you have to support your submission. I would recommend trying to get an academic reference lined up alongside your professional ones. I’d suggest doing to early suitability assessment at the earliest opportunity as it can take up to six months for a decision to be made. I recommend reading this page on the SRA’s website regarding the other points: [URL]https://www.sra.org.uk/become-solicitor/character-and-suitability/early-assessment-character-suitability/[/URL] Whether you tell your TC firm will depend on whether you need a reference from them (might be helpful) and also any terms related to your offer - I have seen terms in TC offers that state you would need to disclose/declare to them anything that you think could impact your ability to qualify/practice.
