Additional Information on forthcoming changes

The SRA has just announced that the current QLTT will be discontinued entirely on Aug. 31, 2010. Click here to read the changes.

Here's what you need to know:

First the BAD NEWS

What has been a convenient and extraordinarily successful cost-effective option for thousands of lawyers is about to end.

  • On Aug. 31, the QLTT as we know it – a 3-subject 9-hour written and multiple-choice exam that you can take 3 times annually in 5 US cities – will be replaced by the new QLTS Exam.
  • The QLTS will be significantly more comprehensive and difficult as it will include subject areas unfamiliar to US-trained Attorneys
  • It will ONLY be administered in England.

The GOOD NEWS

With our Priority Application Service, you can still take advantage of the current regulations and become an English Solicitor right here in the US if you enroll by August 18!

  • You will be 'grandfathered' into the system under the existing regulations
  • You will have until 2013 to sit all 3 QLTT exams
  • The QLTT exams will continue to be administered in 5 US venues (in addition to London and Oxford) in March, August and November through 2013.
