Law Society Exams and Alternative Entry Route
For those who do not wish to obtain a LLB Degree, an alternative route to qualification exists. This involves entering into a three year pre-diploma training contract with a Scottish solicitor and studying for the Society’s professional exams.
It should be noted that people who take this alternative route are still required to obtain a Diploma in Legal Practice and to undertake a two-year post-Diploma traineeship.
The Law Society of Scotland's professional examinations are usually held in FEBRUARY and AUGUST.
Full details of the exam syllabus and reading list can be downloaded in this section as can a copy of the exam timetable and the application form for examinations.
