關於美國的JD申請香港PCLL的問題

RothChanUID: 3575105

本人目前就讀于非T14的法學院, 有機會轉本校的JD, 但轉JD是為了能夠申請HKU或者CUHK的PCLL,

請問難度係數多大? 聽說很多人待不到幾年就回去了, 是麼?

謝謝!

听说难度挺大，我是听说哈。因为学院还是会多少偏向招本校本届生，剩下的名额对于外国JD难度不小。因为英国LLB和澳大利亚很多毕业生会回流到香港，至少说美国JD没有什么特别的优势。
你既然能在美国JD的话，建议你在美国工作，好像是两年，然后考conversion，更简单一些，省下了读PCLL的时间，而且还能在美国有些工作经验。要不美国JD直接回来白瞎了。

考conversation 回来还是要读pcll。 pcll必读，如果要qualify as hong kong lawyer.

另外一种方法是在美国拿牌了以后在香港考oversea lawyer exam，通过率远远低于pcll的通过率。

(a)        has obtained a Postgraduate Certificate in Laws;
(b)        has been admitted as a solicitor in Hong Kong for at least 3 years either immediately or in any case not more than 12 months before the date of his application for admission and during that time he was in practice as a solicitor in Hong Kong or was employed in the public service of the Government as a legal officer within the meaning of the Legal Officers Ordinance (Cap 87); or
(c)        is an overseas lawyer who satisfies the requirements specified in subsection (2).
(2)        For the purposes of subsection (1)(c), an overseas lawyer is qualified for admission as a barrister under section 27(1) of the Ordinance if he-
(a)        holds a certificate of admission as a legal practitioner from the appropriate authority in his jurisdiction of admission and such certificate is currently valid and in force;
(b)        has practised for at least 3 years in his jurisdiction of admission;

(4)        Where the Bar Council is satisfied that, by reason of his substantial experience as a practising lawyer in one or more of the areas of law covered by the Examination, a person should be exempted from sitting one or more examination papers of the Examination, it may exempt such person from sitting such examination paper or papers.
(5)        Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (4), unless the Bar Council otherwise determines in a particular case, a person whose jurisdiction of admission is a common law jurisdiction shall be exempted from sitting Paper I of the Examination.

是我愚钝了...
那solicitors应该是这个吧 http://www.hklawsoc.org.hk/pub_e/admission/oversea.asp

看完之后我还是分不清Foreign Lawyer 和 Overseas Lawyer有什么区别...

US JD考过美国bar，找到香港律所的工作，一边工作一边考foreign lawyer的考试就可以了，没有必要读PCLL。如MI~IVER_KING所言，三校都还是暗中偏向招自己本校的毕业生，外国回来的法律毕业生不是很有优势。

不然楼主可以考虑直接申请三校的JD，香港JD都是两年，时间上没有区别。

如楼主想在香港执业不如不要US JD，直接HK JD+PCLL
