Law School Professional Courses
- Dates and Availability
Solicitors and apprentices are
requested and urged to note that the
Education Committee of the Society
has decided the dates for the
remaining Professional Courses in
1993 and in 1994. These are:
33rd Professional
Course
8 June - 8 October, 1993.
34th Professional
Course
23 October, 1993 - 28 February,
1994.
35th Professional
Course
21 March - 31 July, 1994.
36th Professional
Course
22 August - 14 December, 1994.
The timetable for the 33rd
Professional Course includes a two
week break during August, 1993. The
terminal date in each case is the last
date of class contact, and the
conveyancing examination for each
course will occur approximately ten
days after that date. This should be
borne in mind both by apprentices and
offices in arranging their respective
commitments.
There may be some minor
modification of the commencement or
termination dates. These would be
liable to variation if there were to be
an increase in the time allocation for
existing subjects or an introduction of
any new subjects or due to the
vagaries of examination timetabling.
There are currently
91
students on
each Professional Course. At the time
of going to print the 33rd and 34th
and 35th Professional Courses are
completely full.
The earliest that any
law graduate qualifying from his or
her university in 1993 will be able to
attend on the Professional Course is
in August, 1994.
Already, as at 12
July, 1993, eighteen places have been
assigned on this course.
Places on Professional Courses are
allocated on a
first come first served
basis,
provided that the applicant is
exempt, or is entitled to apply to be
exempt, the Final Examination - First
Part, or has in fact passed that
examination,
and
further subject to
the applicant's actually
having
secured an apprenticeship
and
having
submitted to the Society the
completed application for consent to
become apprenticed together with the
necessary accompanying
documentation. In the absence of any
one condition of eligibility, an
allocation
will not be made.
It should be
noted
that failure to take up
a place on a particular Professional
Course by an apprentice does not
automatically ensure postponement to
the next available Professional Course,
and that in such circumstances it will be
the responsibility of the apprentice to
re-apply
for a place.
Applications to attend a Professional
Course, should be submitted in
writing to the undersigned.
