Exam of Solicitor in Mumbai??

Hello Lawyers,

I heard that the Bar Council of Maharashtra & Goa conducts the Solicitor exam in Mumbai. I wish to pursue the same. Could anyone tell me the details of such exam??

Thanks in advance.

Dear Sumit,


Bar Council Of maharashtra and Goa doesn't conduct Solicitor exam.


It is conducted by Bombay Incorporate Law Society where you have to register yourself, for that do the following


signed an articleship agreement with/ under any solicitor


photocopy of such should be submitted with the law society


articleship would be for three years and after completion of the same you will be eligible to enter in examination.


for further details just be in touch with the Bombay Incorporate Law Society

Thanks Nilesh.


Currently I am working with one Law Firm in Mumbai and no partner in the firm is having qualification of  "Solicitor". Would it be possible to do articleship under this firm?


Sorry for troubling you time to time.

Dear Sumit,


it is a process like signing articleship under a CA. as one wants to pursue CA it needs to be signed articleship with CA only So...


you have to sign articleship under solicitor only.


it would be for 3 years and then only you will be eligible to appear for exam


as ypu are from mumbai and practising in mumbai only just visit the bombay incorporate law society. they will explain you haw to go ahead and will help you to find a solicitor to pursuse .


if anything else, revert


thanks

I have a question. CAn anyone tell me is there any difference if a person appears for the QLTT and then becomes a Solicitor. ANd what if we appear for the exam from Mumbai? What is the status of the Soliciors who are passed out from these two different forums?
