When arguing (sī) (bī) with others, I always have to wait until the matter has passed for a long time before I can think of a hundred ways to fight back in my mind, and regret and wonder why I didn't return it this way or that way. If you can "talk lotus flowers" like a lawyer, you won't be at a loss for words when arguing (sī) with others (bī).
This article is dedicated to those friends who want to study law but are confused:
Many people ask: Why should you choose British University to study law? First of all, medieval England was the origin of the common law system . Later, with the expansion of the Commonwealth, the common law system gradually spread throughout the world, and is now mainly prevalent in the Commonwealth countries. Secondly, the common law system has great influence on Europe and even the world. has a profound impact on finance; finally, British university legal practitioners have a fairly good reputation around the world.

Among them, Civil law Continental law system and Common law Anglo-American law system are the two major legal systems in the world. Civil law The civil law system focuses on writing codes, with detailed written laws . Judges will strictly follow the provisions of the code to judge; while the Anglo-American legal system emphasizes precedents, which means that if a certain case is judged, then the judgments of subsequent similar cases will be Refer to the previous case results.
would like to emphasize one point here: these two legal systems are not antagonistic, but more of a constant exchange and integration. China's legal system is mainly Civil law and Customary law.
The degrees awarded by British university law schools are: LLB Bachelor of Laws, LLM Master of Laws, MA/MSc combined law and other professional degrees, MRes research master, MPhil/PhD Master of Philosophy/PhD.
Generally speaking, applying for LLM in a British university requires an LLB Bachelor of Laws academic background. However, there are also many schools that also accept non-law degrees and require friends to have a law-related background. Pass the judicial examination of a certain country, or have relevant work experience.
If you want to obtain a lawyer qualification certificate in the UK, it is not enough to obtain an LLB or LLM.
After completing three years of LLB in the UK, I received a Training Contract training contract from a law firm. I continued to study for one year of LPC (this course will be discussed below). After two years of training at a law firm, I was able to obtain the training contract. to qualify as a lawyer.
After studying the LLM, then take the CPE (this course will be mentioned below) exam, study the one-year LPC course and pass the exam, and finally need to undergo two years of training in a law firm.
GDL/CPE legal conversion course is aimed at those friends who are not majoring in law or whose legal background is not strong enough, but want to obtain a British lawyer's license. Under normal circumstances, the academic duration is one year, and the level is equivalent to a British Bachelor of Laws. After completion, you can directly study the LPC course.
LPC (Legal Practice Course) aims to lay a solid foundation for those who want to obtain lawyer qualifications.
Visually, I want to stay in the UK to become a lawyer. Although the road is long and difficult, the journey is coming.
For those friends who return to China to work after getting their degree, it is very important to choose a major that is suitable for returning to work. The main areas of legal expertise include: business commercial law, civil law, criminal law, European law, and public law. If you want to return to your country to work, you don’t need to consider European law. Basically choose business, such as International Business/commercial Law, International Law, Intellectual Property Law, Commercial Law, Maritime Law, etc.
Don’t forget that there is a saying that “there are specializations in the profession”. For example, UCL’s public law is better; the University of Glasgow School of Law is one of the largest legal research centers in the UK; the University of Bristol’s Law MA does not require a conversion course, you can directly study LPC course.
Finally, the language requirements for the legal profession are quite high: generally around 7.0. Remember to take the IELTS a little higher.
