Passing the UK QLTT (Qualified Lawyers Transfer Test) plus a two year stint ( maybe less) in a paralegal capacity (**NOT a training contract) and you can be placed on the Solicitors Roll = Qualified Solicitor. Alternatively you can keep on sticking your head in the bacon slicer and 'hope' that one day the tooth fairy will come along and give you a training contract 'cos your nice.

I'd rather put the money in a brown envelope and attempt to bribe a recruitment partner than spend an extra week at a law school of any denomination. No thanks.

Whoopy doo qualified in New York! Try competing for a job over there with students from Harvard, Yale etc. As for improving your chances with US firms here, I can't see any great advantage in it. Tells me CoL and BPP will offer virtually anything to get one over on each other. Blatant marketing tactic to get students to sign up. Whoopy doo qualified in New York!

For students prepared to do the extra it could be a great opportunity. I think it’s a good idea. For students prepared to do the extra it could be a great opportunity.
