Trainee Solicitors may log in to the Law Society website and access the system using their Moodle details.

• When you log in, click on the ‘V’ icon next to the amount due and review the list of Advanced Electives for which you have registered.

• Click the tick box beside your name and choose to pay by either EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) or Debit/Credit Card. Enter the relevant details of the payment method and click on the confirm payment button.

  

• If you opt for the EFT method, the payment system will create a document that you can download with details to make the payment through your own online banking system. It is important that the reference you use in your online banking system matches the reference in the Law Society payment system.

  

Training Firm partners or Training Officers already registered with the Law Society may also log in to the Law Society website and access the system. If a training firm would like to organise access to the payment system for another employee, such as the HR Manager or Office Manager, please provide a letter of authorisation (including the individual’s name and email address) from a partner in your firm to traineesection@lawsociety.ie. The team will then set up that individual with the relevant access on behalf of the firm.

Once registered, Training Officers can view details and pay for multiple trainee solicitors.

• Details of the Advanced Electives recorded for each trainee solicitor may be viewed by clicking on the ‘V’ icon next to the payment amount for that individual trainee solicitor.

• If the firm wants to pay fees for a trainee solicitor, they can select the tick box next to the trainee solicitor’s name. By selecting more than one record, one payment may be made for multiple trainee solicitors.

  

• The firm can thereafter choose to pay by either EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) or Debit/Credit Card. They can enter the relevant details of the payment method and thereafter click on the confirm payment button.

  

• If you opt for the EFT method, the payment system will create a document that you can download with details to make the payment through your own online banking system. It is important that the reference you use in your online banking system matches the reference in the Law Society payment system.
