Anyone studying/studied it? How did/is everyone finding it?

Doing mine at RGU just now... private client and conveyancing make me want to stick pins in my eyes.

I used to work for the Law Society of Ireland in the Education Centre, The system was that you get your degree and then sit eight entrance exams known as FE-1's.

Contract
Tort
EU
Criminal
Equity
Constitutional
Company
Property

These are hugely difficult and are usually sat 4 and 4 in the same calender year, all eight exams are held twice a year, then sit your re-sits the following year. Then you have to obtain an apprenticeship and over two years study and sit exams to obtain your final parchment and enrollment to Roll of Solicitors.

It is a huge undertaking, best of luck.
