Solicitor's Qualifying Examination

The Solicitor’s Qualifying Examination (SQE) is a standardized test that law graduates and qualified lawyers must pass to become registered solicitors in England and Wales. It assesses their knowledge and practical skills across various legal areas, ensuring they meet professional standards. The SQE replaces traditional routes like the Legal Practice Course, aiming for a more uniform and flexible pathway to qualification. Successful completion demonstrates that candidates possess the necessary competence to practice law ethically and effectively as a solicitor.
