Changes to becoming a solicitor CPD session: What do tutors need to know and how can they support their students?

This session supports Heads of Careers, Heads of Sixth Form, law teachers / tutors and other colleagues who advise students with an interest in studying law at university.

The biggest change in a generation for university law students and applicants is being introduced in 2021. The Solicitors Qualification Examination (SQE) will be the route for students who want to become a solicitor and will require a major change in the guidance and support provided to your students.

This seminar, from 4-5pm, delivered by Kevin Rogers (Director of Solent Law School) covers:

• the types of skills Law students develop during their studies
• the range of careers available following a law degree
• the main changes to becoming a solicitor or a barrister
• an overview of the Solicitors Qualification Examination (SQE)
• any questions you have.

Once registered, we will be in touch, no later than 1 week before the event date, with the MS Teams link you need to log in on the day.
