What is the Law Society's role in relation to the SQE?

The role of the Law Society in relation to the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) primarily involves providing guidance and support to candidates. This support can take various forms, including offering resources, information, and assistance related to the SQE process. The Law Society aims to ensure that candidates are well-informed about the exam's requirements and procedures, which is crucial for their preparation and success.

While the Law Society is involved in specific aspects of the SQE, such as overseeing its implementation, the responsibility for conducting the exams and creating the curriculum lies with the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and other designated bodies. Therefore, the guidance and support the Law Society provides is a vital component for candidates navigating the complexities of the SQE, ensuring they have the tools and knowledge necessary to succeed in this transition to qualifying as a solicitor.
