I want to be a lawyer and study law in the UK.

I am a UAE national but I am worried about studying outside the UAE and not being able to actually become a lawyer in the UAE.

Do I really need to study in the UAE to become a lawyer here?

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question, I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.

To become a lawyer in the UAE, you generally need to study law at a university recognized by the UAE Ministry of Education, complete your legal training or internship locally, and pass the required exams.

If you study law in the UK, it may not automatically qualify you to practice law in the UAE. However, you can explore the possibility of having your UK qualifications recognized in the UAE through equivalency processes and bridging programs.

It's advisable to consult with the UAE Ministry of Justice in the UAE to understand the specific requirements and options for becoming a lawyer in the UAE after studying abroad.

For any further legal assistance, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will definitely be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards

As long as you are a UAE national and you hold a bachelor's degree in law, you have the right to register in the lawyers list registered with the Ministry of Justice after passing the lawyer course regardless of the university you graduated from.

But you need to make sure that the university you are studying at is one of the universities recognized by higher education in the country.

No, you do not need to study in the UAE to become a lawyer in the UAE.

According to the UAE Lawyer's Association, foreign-educated lawyers may be admitted to the UAE Bar Association if they have a law degree from a recognized university and have passed the UAE Bar Exam.

However, it is important to note that the UAE Bar Exam is only offered in Arabic, so you would need to be proficient in the language in order to take the exam.

Additionally, you may need to complete additional training or courses in order to practice law in the UAE.
