About this blog

QLTS for Indian lawyers‘ is self explanatory my dear Watson!

I am an Indian qualified lawyer and want to help anyone out there with tips, notes, updates on the QLTS (Qualified Lawyer’s Transfer Scheme) Exams. I choose to write this blog more specifically for Indian lawyers & law students currently pursuing their law degree in India. Ofcourse anyone else (from other countries) who is interested in qualifying as a UK Solicitor under the QLTS route may also find this blog and certain posts relevant.

The idea is to make information simpler and provide my readers with some analysis of my own research into many things that go into preparing & attempting this exam. When attempting an exam at this level a number of factors must be considered- the course providers, the money it costs and of course the most important of all -how to study and what to study. I have personal experience of having struggled initially because the QLTS was introduced in 2011, the same year I relocated to the UK, so I was thrown into a new system with no one to look to or no blogs to read and understand what this was all about.

To this day I get a lot of people asking me about the QLTS exam. So I thought instead of writing emails to individuals which takes time (& I have done this now for the last 2 years) it would be best to write everything I know about the exam so it can help someone out there to get clarity about attempting the QLTS.

Ofcourse it will be a challenge for me to keep updating some older posts so I request you have patience with my blog. I say this because I am doing it more out of the willingness to help others- yes that’s right! I don’t get paid to write but I am doing it during my own “free & personal time” which is really invaluable to me.

If you see anything that is out of date then be kind to leave me a message in the comments section and I will try my best to update that post with a following post and link them both.

What I expect in return from you

(a) Leave comments which are valuable and that will help other readers

(b) Do not go off topic from the blog post itself but if you feel it is something suitable to another blog post then please leave a comment there; note that an irrelevant comment is never usually read by anyone!

(b) Last but not least please don’t use abusive language. This is a professional blog written by a professional for other professionals, so please remember this.

(c) Think twice before you leave a comment.

(d) Please use English only while leaving your comments as, firstly, I can read only English (ofcourse I can read, write and speak 3 other languages but I am sure those are not relevant here) and secondly it is universal & will be helpful to my readers.

 

Sincerely,
