Tumbridge's guide to legal qualification

"Today's world operates as a global economy and the decisions of one jurisdiction affect many others. It is also increasingly common that lawyers choose to move around the globe and want their passage from jurisdiction to jurisdiction to be as smooth as possible. This book was written with them in mind, to provide essential information for the modern lawyer who may temporarily or permanently be moving from practice in his or her home jurisdiction to practice elsewhere. The guide aims to inform lawyers of the key aspects of re-qualification, and directs them where to find the actual rules and information they need to make the move to practice overseas.

It contains a clear statement of the rules and laws of admittance in all common law jurisdictions around the world, and thus represents a valuable and essential resource for legal practitioners who wish to enhance their professional experience and expertise by working in different Common Law jurisdictions. Its format and the information contained within enable the reader, despite the often complex local requirements, to find at a glance whether they are or can be met by a particular individual, and those who need to be contacted in the event of any doubt."--pub. desc.
