BARBRI is calling on students to share their views on the most important skill for a lawyer today as part of its latest SQE scholarship competition.
To enter the competition, solicitor hopefuls must submit an essay of no more than 500 words on the topic: “In your view, what is the most important skill for a lawyer?” The essay should reflect each applicant’s personal perspective on the skill they believe is crucial in today’s legal world.
Students are also required to attend ‘Supercharge your CV: essential skills for aspiring solicitors — with BARBRI’, a virtual event taking place on Thursday 31 October. You can secure your place here.

To be eligible, students must be in their final year of university or a graduate ready to take the SQE. The deadline for essay submissions is 14 November 2024, and results will be announced by 20 November 2024. APPLY HERE.
