International bar review leader BARBRI partners with the Law Society of England and Wales to deliver Qualified Lawyers Transfer Scheme preparatory training
DALLAS, Oct. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading legal education provider BARBRI has been selected by the Law Society of England and Wales to jointly deliver preparatory training for international attorneys seeking requalification through the Qualified Lawyers Transfer Scheme (QLTS) to practice in England and Wales.
The Law Society serves as the professional and representative body for the solicitor profession in England and Wales, and this new relationship enables the organization to leverage BARBRI's expertise for the benefit of lawyers seeking dual qualification to enhance their careers.
BARBRI boasts a 50-year history of supporting law graduates and lawyers in passing their professional bar examinations, and offers specific expertise in tailoring its training programs to meet the needs of foreign lawyers and law graduates seeking requalification in another jurisdiction. Among the 1.3 million BARBRI alumni are thousands of international lawyers and law graduates who have passed a U.S state bar exam.
QLTS Prep by BARBRI offers live and online learning taught by specialist U.K. legal academics and solicitors. The course is presented via the unique online Personal Study Plan (PSP). The PSP employs an integrated "Active Adaptive Legal Learning" system that continually monitors a candidate's progress and adapts to his or her unique areas of need to optimize study time for the best results.
"The Law Society of England and Wales plays a vital role in promoting England and Wales as the jurisdiction of choice and highlighting the importance of professional legal services to the U.K. economy," said Law Society President Joe Egan. "It is in the interests of the profession and all our members to ensure that those seeking requalification in our jurisdiction are trained to the highest level and meet our standards of professionalism for practice in England and Wales. Our partnership with BARBRI will enable us to deliver a high-quality preparatory program for those international lawyers seeking requalification here."
"QLTS Prep by BARBRI uses the highest quality provision using innovative education technology to achieve high pass rates for those studying with us," added Sarah Hutchinson, managing director of BARBRI International. "We are delighted to partner with the Law Society in delivering an excellent and supportive learning experience to our international lawyers seeking requalification in England and Wales."
