Two main questions


Darinealk

Hey i know that to become a solicitor in the UK it is mandatory to do the 1 year LPC course then 2 years as a trainee, but i have two main questions regarding this.

1. If i study my LLB in Scotland, i konw that is Scots law so i can only become a solicitor/advocate in Scotland.. but my question is; is it possible to do my LLB in scotland then a LLM in international commercial law then ofcourse the one year LPC and then the 2 years as a trainee.. doing this does it allow me to practice commercial law anywhere/internationally?

2. Or i was thinking of doing my bachelor's degree in business, then going on to do a one year conversion course (then maybe my LLM) then the 1 year LPC course and the 2 years trainee?

Which do you guys think is better? But my main question is if i study law in Scotland and do my international commercial LLM there does this allow me to work anywhere?

Hello Darinealk, I don't think it makes a big difference. Some Scottish law students told me that they cover a lot of english law and that they continued their education in England afterwards. They had no problem.
Generally speaking, you need either an LLM or an accelerated LL.B. to follow up with the LPC or DLP. If you qualify in England or Scotland makes no difference.
