Hi all - Happy New Year!
A question on something tangentially related; I'm currently applying for the Bar Vocational course, and have discovered that I need to 'reactivate' my degree, because I qualified in 2014 and an LLB is apparently only valid for 5 years. I have to (1) pay a fee of £220 (ridiculous), (2) outline how I still have competence in all the Foundation areas, i.e. obligations, EU law, public law, etc etc, and (3) provide references which demonstrate this competence. I'd be more understanding if my LLB was from 1995 or something, but the 5 year timeframe feels absurdly short and I am not particularly inclined to start bothering people for references on this information.
Does anyone else have any experience with this process? Really grateful if you could get in touch if so.
