Do you want to be an English Solicitor?

According to Houston Putnam Lowry (Chartered Arbitrator, Brown & Welsh, P.C., Meriden, CT):

Changes were announced on July 1, 2008, to take effect September 1, 2008 on the requirements to become a solicitor in England.  The present rules do not require a candidate to have actual experience in English law.  The new rules will require a candidate to have a year’s experience in English law.  Further details can be found at http://www.sra.org.uk/solicitors/qltt/revised-guidance.page.

If you have considered applying to become an English solicitor, now might be the time to do so if you want to take advantage of the old regulations.
