    HAAAA HAAAAAAAAAA, somebody is winding you up, this is what you need to become a lawyer in the UK.

    To work as a lawyer in the UK you need a degree or a Graduate Diploma in Law. If you are a qualified lawyer you need to get your qualifications recognised in the UK. You will have to apply with the Law Society for having your qualifications recognised. If the Law Society accepts your application, you will have to take a test - the Qualified Lawyers Transfer Test.

    If you are from outside the European Union you will also need two years of practice of the UK law within the UK.

    If you are from the European Union you will need three years of practice of UK law within the United Kingdom, but you will not need to take the test.

    Before applying, you will have to get a standard disclosure from the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB check). This is a document you need if you are going to work with children or other vulnerable people (for example, people with disabilities). It shows that you do not have a prison record for abuse of children or other vulnerable people. There are 2 types of CRB check: the Enhanced Disclosure costs £36, the Standard Disclosure £31.
