Event Overview

Join our session with BARBRI to explore how lawyers and law students can build a truly global qualification pathway.

Robert Dudley, Head of Employability & Engagement at BARBRI, will explore the routes into practice in England & Wales via the SQE, alongside pathways into the US legal market through BARBRI's Bar Prep programmes. Mayumi Brown, Senior Business Development Manager at BARBRI, will then turn to professional education, looking at how legal professionals can continue developing their skills and credentials.

This session will be useful if you're a law student weighing up your qualification options, an internationally trained lawyer considering a U.S. or England & Wales qualification, or a legal professional looking to invest in ongoing development.
