Advice about becoming a solicitor

    Hi there,

    Just wondering if anyone could tell me the step by step process of becoming a solicitor in Ireland in terms of all the courses and exams I’ll have to do before I’m fully qualified. I’m hoping to study Law and French in UCC which I know is a 4 year degree, but I’ve seen people reference other exams and courses necessary outside of this. Can I work using my degree straight out of college?

    I believe you’re required to do a two year apprenticeship as part of becoming a solicitor, and I was wondering if it’s possible to do that apprenticeship in the UK? Will I be able to use an Irish law degree over there if I move there or is there other steps I’ll have to take in order to do that?

    Thanks a million!
