    Afaik he'll have to do some bridging courses on the differences and write exams to prove his ability.

    you will need a certificate of good standing form the law society here and then you just go write an admittance to their bar exam i think. my old boss is doing that this year. California law is very similar to our law and if your in the commercial law business even better cause business law is similar around the globe. i think new yorks law is also quite similar.

    I'm seriously considering it, especially after another horrible week. Have a contact in Brisbane, Australia who's been badgering me to come work for him for years now. I think I might just bite the bullet and do it. Finances won't be an issue, as I can sell my house for at least a R400k profit today.

    Problem comes in with family matters - as some of you might know, my father-in-law passed away December last year and my mother-in-law stays with my wife and I now. If the wife and I move, my mother-in-law has to come with. My wife doesn't want to do that, because she would be "stealing" her mom away from her older sister and our nice would "grow up without a grandmother". There's loads of family politics going on there, so it will make things tremendously difficult. My parents (mom especially) is encouraging me to make the move though... She even got a Swedish contact for me this week to see if I can go there. Jag gillar det mycket!

    It's never easy. Best of luck with the decisions that you need to make.

    Then can't the mother live with the older sister then. I don't think its fair on you if you have an opportunity to get work and live there and not to be able to go and give it a shot bec of one person. I know It sounds selfish but I would do it.

    I mean even of my mother or brother didn't come with I would of still went, and my dad is by himself in sa. He Really considering selling up and moving over.

    Sister-in-law doesn't have a house big enough for her to stay in - they live in a smallish townhouse with their daughter with next to no spare parking. At least we have a sizable home, driveway big enough for 4-5 cars and no children. So she lives comfortably with us and helps out with some bills at the moment (which is immensely appreciated, considering my current work situation). She is a dear and loving person and I would actually enjoy having her on the other side, but like I said, POLITICS.

    As much as things can suck in SA at times, I'll be leaving way to many friends/family behind, won't be able to do it
