Today's Video Focus: Watch the Solicitors Regulation Authority webinar to find out how we plan to assess skills under the SQE
– the new, licensing examination for solicitors of England and Wales
coming in autumn 2021. Join Paul Carter and Maxine Warr to:
• Explore the options for testing skills - whether we assess them in
SQE1 or just in SQE2.
• Hear about the SQE2 assessment, including whether the exam should
cover a cross section of areas of law or if candidates choose two
specific areas to focus on instead.
• Find out how you can tell us your views and what works for you as
employers in our follow up survey.
