    Im currently studying law in Griffith College and since my degree is classed as an LLB and from Notingham Trent University (although the degree is "Irish Law") do I need to take part in another Bar exam for the Turks & Caicos islands? (which is still a British Territory)

    Why not just ask [SNIPPED] Edit: Someone who might know?? Or email the Dean of Nottingham Trent Uni? Why ask on a message board for people's opinions and assumptions when you could get a veracious response from the above just as easily?

    Ah the lucrative Turks & Caicos Bar that every young lawyer aspires to.

    You can ask their bar association about it:

    By the way, Law in Griffith is not recognised as a professional qualification, so you would probably have to sit a bar exam as well i.e. Law in Griffith does not count as passing a bar exam.

    It's a common law tax haven in the Caribbean, would love to work there. Have a mate in the Caymans, he earns a very good wage, all tax free of course, loads of sunshine, apartment on the beach...you get the idea! It's tough to get a job though, most of the Caribbean islands have a very protectionist immigration regime.

    Funny, just the other day I saw an ad in the Gazette looking for a lawyer there. Futher investigation revealed that the firm in question had an Irish partner. Could be a nice place to sit out the recession :cool:

    Surely your close family relative with a firm there would be a better person to ask than an internet messageboard?
