I am currently studying an LLB Law Degree in England, part-time, but plan on practising in Spain.
I plan to move to Spain in the Summer of 2012, at which point I will have two years left before I complete my degree. I will continue with my degree whilst in Spain through distant learning. With the hope that by the time I graduate I will be fluent in Spanish, having lived in Spain for two years.
I understand that my degree will be a common law degree and I will therefore be unqualified to practice in the Spanish legal system.
What do I need to do before or after graduating in order to qualify as a Spanish Lawyer / be able to have a dual qualification? Is there an equivalent to the UK's bar training course or legal practice certificate that would train me as far as being able to practice civil law, even though I have a common law degree?
Any assistance would be really appreciated!
Kind Regards
Jade
