Hi

Can anyone help me with my question please? I am a law graduate (LLBP) in the UK but I am hoping to move to Oz next year. I want to take my BVC(Bar) in Oz but not sure where or how to apply for this? Also, can I get work in a firm with my degree or do I need to take more exams to practice in Oz?

I have a certificate as a "duty rep" for the police station in the UK, which means I can represent a defendant at the police station. Do they have this in Oz? Would my certificate qualify me to work as a duty rep or not?

Finally, I am a member of the law society in the UK do I have to join a law society in Oz? If so how do I do this?

Thanks Christi
