What Will You Learn In BTT?
As this course enables a qualified lawyer to transfer to the Bar of England and Wales, without having to undergo the full course of Bar (Part A & B), a BTT candidate is expected to learn & demonstrate high professional practice, politeness, a good awareness of responsibilities in cases, a thorough understanding in law & procedure, respect in communications and personal interactions with others.
The BSB has the discretion to grant specific exemptions on some or all the exams of Part A of the curriculum, after assessing the academic background and the prior experience as an advocate in the commonwealth country, i.e. Pakistan.
An applicant who holds a law degree from the UK or a Common Law Jurisdiction, such as Pakistan, may usually not be required to pass the Academic Component sections of the BTT.
DLS will facilitate all prospective students with information and guidance on how to apply to the BSB for seeking exemptions; and paying any relevant fees. As stated earlier, the power to grant exemptions rests solely with the BSB and DLS is not authorized in any way in this regard.
Exemptions
The Bar Standards Board (BSB) may grant full or partial exemption from some or all the modules of the Bar Training i.e., Academic & Vocational Training (Part A & B). Your applications for exemption will be assessed according to your academic and professional qualifications, your employment and/or practicing experience, your rights of audience, and your ‘Good Standing’. These exemptions may further be subjected to your BSB’s Professional Statement.
