The Law Society of Scotland admissions regulations were updated in November 2019. Amongst the changes is a rule that trainees can now apply for admission to the Role of Solicitors after three months of their traineeship rather than 12 as was previously the case.

In order to apply early trainees must complete 20 hours of ‘sitting in’ with a solicitor from their firm and must complete an advocacy course.

The survey is looking for the views of young lawyers on the impact this change is likely to have.
