    Thank you for the website you have provided, but this is for new students and it does not relate to me, as I am doing my final year in the uni. I just wanted to know, how I can prequalify in Spain with LLB Law Degree from UK. Can I do a Master Degree in Spain for example and then follow the spanish road to qualify as Spanish Lawyer? Your help is much appreciated! Thank you

    Default Homologation

    Dear Lawbird (I address this to Lawbird, but please if anyone has anything to say in relation to this, please do not hesitate),

    as regards homologation of law degrees, is it necessary to have my degree homologated by the Spanish Ministry of Education if I have a 5 years law degree from EU country with continental system? Should not this degree be homologated automatically under EU rules on acknowledgement of degrees?

    Thank you for your inputs.

    Kind regards,

    A.

    Default EU law degree

    Hello,
    Thank you in advance for your answer.
    I hold a Bachelor of Laws from an EU country and a LLM in EU Law and I would like to practice law in Spain.
    My question is: if I homologate my law degree will I have to pass an exam to be a lawyer in Spain? Or is it just a procedural step and after homologation I will earn the title abogado in Spain? Does this procedure suppose the fact that u have to pass some additional exams?

    I know a law has been passed in 2011 which obliges Spanish students who graduate from law to pass an examination and to do a traineeship, but I am not aware of when this law will enter into force.

    If I will qualify as a lawyer in my home country, in order to practice in Spain would I have to take any other exams?

    Thanks in advance!

    Which of the 83 regional Bar Associations existing in Spain do you want the contact details for? Please specify and I'll reply giving their contact details.

    I guess it's the local Bar Association in which you plan to settle in Spain.

    I think that all of your answers here have been brilliantly helpful, thank-you.
    If it is not too much trouble, would you be able to provide me with contact details for the Bar Associations both in Madrid and Valencia?
    Thanks once again.

    Default Bolgna Process - short courses

    Buenas a todo!

    I wonder whether someone here can help me with my query. I have checked lots of EU websites, Spanish government websites etc and I cannot find the answer to my question anywhere. I am English and qualified as a solicitor under English and Welsh law. I studied the Graduate Diploma in Law ('GDL') which is a one year intensive law course. If you go on to do the Legal Practice Course ('LPC'), another one year intensive course and a common route into a legal qualification, the GDL and LPC combined are considered as an 'LLB' and I have an official certificate confirming this. I believe that both courses together are deemed to have enough hours of study to justify this and it should be classified as an undergraduate degree under the Bologna process.

    I know that the Spanish authorities will only homologate degrees of a certain length. Has anyone tried to homologate a GDL/LPC LLB qualification?

    I am considering whether to study a Masters in Spanish at Malaga but if I cannot homologate my degree, then I am wondering what to do. I specialise in commercial/corporate and HNW/UHNW private client matters. My intention is to work on the Costa del Sol where there are a few international-focused law firms which cater for the expat populations. I know the area well, I have been living here since 2010 but I was working in Gibraltar. The commute is really too far for me so that is why I am trying to look at my options in Spain.

    Any advice you can offer me would be very gratefully accepted.

    Many thanks,

    Amaltheia

    I wish I were able to leave a link to the source, but I can't. So, it'll have to be copy/paste. How to apply for recognition? At present there are two types of recognition (which are not compatible but, can be requested either consecutively or simultaneously):

    Recognition of a degree from the Catalogue of official university qualifications (recognition as a specific qualification, such as a Bachelor’s Degree in Law or a Diploma in Physiotherapy). I guess, this is the one you need.

    Procedure: What documents to show

    The interested party sets the procedure in motion by completing the application form and submitting it together with the following documentation (do not hand over original documents as these will not be returned):

    Certified copy[1] of the document that proves the identity and nationality of the applicant.
    Certified copy of the degree the applicant seeks to validate or the corresponding certificate of issue.
    Certified copy of the academic certification of the studies completed by the applicant to obtain the degree and which includes the official duration of the course in academic years, the course curriculum, subjects and number of hours devoted to each, among other information.[2]
    Proof of payment of the corresponding tax: certified either by machine or by an authorised signature that accredits the payment, deposit or transfer to the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport.

    Documents issued abroad must fulfil the following requisites:

    They must be official documents that have been issued by the authorities responsible for doing so in accordance with the legislation of the country in question.
    Before being submitted, documents must be authenticated either by the applicant’s embassy or, when applicable, by the Hague Convention Apostille This will not be required for documents issued by authorities in European Union Member States or countries that have signed the European Economic Area Agreement.
    Documents must be accompanied, where applicable, by an official translation into Spanish.

    The application form can be submitted and printed in two ways:

    Electronic office Processes and Services[1]
    By downloading the corresponding form from the web page of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport.

    Now the important part.
    The purpose of professional recognition of qualifications is to overcome the obstacles that nationals from a State may encounter when attempting to start work in a given profession and lead to an authorisation to exercise a specific profession in the new State of residence. This is intended to support professionals rather than students. This legislation[1] applies exclusively to nationals of the 27 Member States of the European Union, the non-EU States that have signed the European Economic Area Agreement (Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) and Switzerland.
    Unfortunately, I think, being a Canadian, you might have a problem.

    Good luck with it anyway. I hope I was of assistance. Appology for going at length.
