Advice re finding legal work in Mauritius

Thanks for your reply.

Do you know what the 7 month bar course for solicitors at the University of Mauritius is called just so I can gather some further details?

In Scotland to qualify as a solicitor you have to complete the diploma in legal practice and 2 years traineeship with a law firm. If I decided to do this in Scotland would I be able to come back to Mauritius and apply to qualified solicitor jobs or would there still be other requirements that need to be met (such as doing the bar course/pupillage)?

Okay, yeah that's the same course the University told me about but as you said I would need to be considered a Mauritian national first before being admitted to the course.

Thanks for your help

Hi. In my opinion the easy first step is to contact a few law firms and seek Internships which would get you going.

I can make you get in touch with a friend who is an Attorney-at-law.

Hope this helps.
