[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 73210, member: 2672"] You can, but there is a major but here. Law firms are not going to recognise your law clinic work as comparable work to what a trainee would do in a large commercial law firm. There is a major risk that people who seek their QWE outside of the type of firms/environment they want to qualify into will be over qualified but under experienced. This is what happens a lot with accountancy and some finance roles. People gain some experience and complete their ACA/CFA qualifications off their own back, and then they are deemed over qualified for a graduate programme. If you pass the SQE and try to apply for qualification with previous legal work experience prior to graduating, many firms won’t know what to do with you. It’s the dilemma many international qualified lawyers have had for years with the QLTS. [/QUOTE]
