This is a great thread and the insights are really helpful.I have a question about QWE, specifically overseas work experience. According to the SRA guidelines, overseas work can count towards QWE:”Work experience can be obtained in England or Wales or overseas and it does not need to cover English and Welsh law.”Does anyone have any insight into the practical aspects of using overseas work experience to fulfil the QWE quota? I realise that since we haven’t even had the first set of SQE exams yet the answer is probably no, but I thought there is no harm to ask.Also following on from [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] reply about QWE making you over qualified but under experienced for graduate legal positions. Does this mean that if your QWE is paralegal/legal consultant work or above in the practice area relevant to the firm then this puts you in good stead following SQE2?
