Yeah, and they are worse than the UK degree mills grads. Don't think they will be so stupid as to open the floodgates to them.

if I continue as legal executive with my firm after my qualification to the bar — why can’t I clock pqe?

because you are working a job that does not require you to be called to the bar

you think pantry lady at big 4 can clock pqe is it

then after called to bar
i go in house
is it can clock pqe in my resume ?

Don’t understand how some ppl on this forum are Lawyers.

Providing stupid advice to juniors. And ramming juniors down when they have personal issues.

Firstly, remember that -
(1) PQE starts from the time you are called to one jurisdiction. The first jurisdiction that you qualify in - your pqe runs from there on.
(2) you may be an academic, a lecturer, a legal counsel, an arbitrator, a corporate lawyer, etc.
PQE continues to run

Secondly, stop putting juniors down.
Breakup is part and parcel of life.

Pqe means post qualification experience in a job that requires you to be a qualified lawyer.

A legal exec is not job that requires you to be a qualified lawyer.

Being qualified but not working in a job that requires you to be a qualified lawyer means you are not clocking pqe.

Have I made it simple enough for you?

Are you stupid or just trolling?

Please la. Stop giving wrong advice.
Legal executive performs the job of a legal associate.
Reason for the lesser title is cos it’s cheaper for the firm.
Then some firms call their associates legal assistant?
Means what? Secretary? Please...

Means u are a loser la. Cannot qualify as associate. Big kukubird or not, still a loser. The road to equity is shut. This is a serious black mark on your cv.
