Thursday 26 June, 4pm to 6pm, taking place virtually
It’s no secret that the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) is not without its shortcomings, even as it enters its fourth year. Hopefully, though, as it beds in the advantages of this new training regime should come to the fore – with the big plus of the SQE being flexibility. Now students have many more options about how and when they qualify as solicitors; they can front load study should they wish, or they can spread it out and earn while they learn.
Join us on the afternoon of Thursday 26 June for a virtual student event in partnership with The University of Law (ULaw), where we’ll be hearing the testimonies of students, law firms and course providers who’ve had first-hand experience administering and undergoing the SQE.
Time: 4pm to 6pm
Location: Virtual event
Level: Students, Graduates
At the virtual event, ULaw’s head of SQE Daniel Cowan will be joined by a panel of current students and future trainee solicitors to share their insights and top tips for passing the assessments. Giving the law firm perspective will be a graduate recruitment advisor from a leading firm.
After a Question Time-style panel discussion chaired by a Legal Cheek journalist, there will be virtual networking with the speakers and ULaw’s SQE team for follow-up questions and further careers advice. This is a great opportunity to find out more about ULaw’s LLM Legal Practice (SQE1&2) course, geared towards those who are looking to qualify via the new SQE route whilst also gaining a Master’s qualification.
Apply to attend. You’ll be asked to submit two questions for the speakers.
