With effect from 26/11/24, SAHCA’s membership has voted to dissolve the association. Once that process is completed, this website will be shut down.
Following a public consultation, the SRA is changing how the civil and criminal Higher Rights of Audience (HRA) assessments operate.
This means that from:
If you have not been admitted as a solicitor and want to take the criminal and/or civil HRA assessments before qualifying, you must complete the assessment before 1 April 2021.
If you have not passed the assessments in full by 1 April 2021, you will need to wait until after you are admitted as a solicitor to take them. This includes some who have only partly completed the assessment by 1 April 2021 and those needing to take resits beyond this date.
