- There will be an additional written Head on Hong Kong Constitutional Law;
- The pre-requisite requirement of 5 years of experience in the practice of law enabling an applicant to become eligible to apply for exemption from sitting a written Head will count the followings:
- Experience gained during a period of service as a trainee solicitor, articled clerk or pupil or a practical legal training course in lieu thereof, that is required to be completed for the purpose of admission in the person's jurisdiction of admission;
- Experience gained in providing legal services to the public in the capacity as a lawyer practicing the law of a common law jurisdiction - this provision is intended to cover lawyers in private practice;
- Experience gained in providing legal services otherwise than to the public the nature of which is regarded by the Society as being similar to those in sub-paragraph (ii) above - this provision is intended to cover lawyers practicing in-house and yet the nature of work is regarded by the Society as similar to that in private practice.
To prepare for the coming into operation of the proposed legislative amendments, please note the following:
- No extension will be granted to any Section 3(2) Certificate for the purpose of enabling the holder of the Certificate to sit the 2011 or 2012 Examinations;
- All applications for the 2011 or 2012 Examinations by former candidates must be made by way of a fresh application in accordance with the rules and guidelines applicable at the time.

Our SpeakersTestimonials
I had been recommended the LexOmnibus course, and was not disappointed. The team is very responsive and friendly, and the course was helpfully designed with the exams in mind. The material (particularly Conveyancing) was thorough and the mock exams and feedback sessions were a good way to prepare for the exam. Would recommend it to others who are planning on sitting the OLQE.

Sitting five heads of the OLQE was quite a daunting task and the lecturers at LexOmnibus pulled no punches in letting us know that. If you're serious about passing the OLQEs, I can't recommend LexOmnibus enough. Many thanks also to the staff for keeping things organised and running smoothly!

I thank Lex Omnibus, and in particular, Michael Wilkinson, Davy Wu and Ian Lee, for helping me to pass all 5 heads. What I found particularly helpful about the Lex Omnibus courses were the revision classes spent doing past exam papers. Given the breadth of the exam syllabus it is impossible to study everything - this is why the lecturers' practical, exam-focused approach is very helpful. The mock exam system was also very good at encouraging us to do some early revision and to shock us into working harder for the real exams! I think Lex Omnibus' OLQE courses were very thoughtfully designed and I highly recommend them.

I couldn't have passed the OLQE so smoothly without taking your courses. I will definitely recommend them to others.
