Hi everybody!
I'm a french student, I hope to get my first year of master at the end of this year i-e my french "maitrise".
I'd like then to join an LLM in order to pass the bar exam in scotland. Yet, I'm not sure that it's possible for an LLM student to be allowed to pass the bar exam. Is it or not? should I choose another programm?
thank you for your advices!

If you are interested in qualifying as a barrister in Scotland, you should check the website of the Faculty of Advocates (www.advocates.org.uk), and in particular their regulations as to intrants. In short, unless you hold an undergraduate law degree from a Scottish university OR are a qualified barrister from England or Northern Ireland OR are a qualified lawyer from another member state of the EC, you will NOT be able to qualify as a barrister in Scotland upon completion of your LLM.

If, on the other hand, you are thinking about becoming a Scottish solicitor, your first point of call should be the website of the Scottish law society (www.lawscot.org.uk); your chances of (re-)qualifying as a solicitor in Scotland again depend chiefly on where you have done your undergraduate law degree and/or where you have obtained your professional qualification.
