CRITERIA

To be considered for an award, you must demonstrate that you meet the following criteria:

§     Academic achievement

You must have completed at least Part I of the Legal Practice Course for qualification as a solicitor in England and Wales.   Alternatively, you must be a practising solicitor.

§     Employment status

When the awards are made, you should either be in a training contract or you should be practising as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales.

§     Course of study

You must intend to study in France, Spain or Canada during the term of the award, and to follow a course in the law and legal procedures of the country in question.

However, if you study in either France or Spain, you may, as an alternative, take a course which is devoted to the law of the European Union.

Scholarships will normally be granted only for courses which are at post-graduate level, taken at a leading university in the country concerned, and lead to a formal qualification, such as an LLM or equivalent award.

You will be expected to identify the course you wish to take on your application form.
