    Hi guys,

    I am a recent law graduate and in looking to get some experience I noticed a legal assistant job in Northern Ireland. Is it even worth applying for or would the fact I dont hold a UK law degree immediately rule me out?

    Thanks in advance.

    Rory

    One of the things you might want to be more aware of is in the UK there are three separate jurisdictions. England and Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Scotland isn't even a pure common law jurisdiction.

    So as above, apply what have you got to lose but perhaps engage in some research as to what the major differences in law are beyond the requirement to stall call judges my Lord. :pac:

    Best of luck, I hear it's still a land of milk and honey up there in legal land!
