How to become a lawyer in the UK

British lawyer

  • Regardless of your academic performance and major, you can become a British lawyer by completing the two-part SQE (Solicitor Qualifying Exam) and having two years of relevant work experience.
  • You can take SQE 1 or SQE 2 three times within 6 years. If you fail three times within 6 years, you can apply for an extension of the 6-year period or wait until the 6-year period expires and start over.
  • Some less famous UK law universities have incorporated SQE into their curriculum, while other famous UK law universities have not made such arrangements because they are convinced that prestigious law firms will hire their graduates.

 

 

 

Differences in Difficulty of Being a Lawyer in the UK vs. in Hong Kong

  • The biggest difference between studying law in the UK and studying law in Hong Kong is that there are no quotas, grade and major requirements or restrictions for the UK practice examination. As long as you have 2 years of work experience + pass the Solicitor Qualifying Exam , you can become a British lawyer. However, in Hong Kong, non-law undergraduate students need to study for 2 years of JD before they can enter PCLL (Hong Kong Bar Practice Examination).
  • PCLL in Hong Kong has a quota limit, and there are far more law graduates than the quota limit. Every year, 60% of PCLL applicants fail! Even if you study law, you won’t be able to become a lawyer.
  • Therefore, to study law in Hong Kong, one not only needs a semi-godlike score to be admitted to the law department, the most important thing is to graduate with a godlike score so that you can pass the PCLL exam!
