✨THE REALITY OF STUDYING TO BECOME A LAWYER ✨ Today we’re going to diving into the reality of what it’s like to study to become a lawyer (very loose term, by this I mean solicitor or barrister)👨🏻 ⚖️ I get asked this quite regularly from a-level students hoping to study law at university (although you don’t need to study law to go into the legal profession)! Here are some realities of what my life looks like studying to become a solicitor: ▪️It takes at least 6 years to become qualified - don’t let this put you off though! It comprises of a 3 year undergraduate, 1 year LPC (postgrad) and a 2 year training contract to qualify as a solicitor if you study law at university. ▫️It’s true, there is a LOT of reading - but it’s completely manageable if you do it regularly and in chunks! Plus it definitely helps when trying to secure the top grades🙌🏼. ▪️It’s competitive - The legal field is very competitive to get into, but it’s totally doable and if you work hard you will certainly see it all pay off! ▫️it’s SO rewarding - studying law is one of the most rewarding degrees out there! You gain a huge variety of skills that are transferable to most career paths and it’s a well respected degree too. 🌟 What made you choose the degree you are studying/have studied? 🌟 #studygram #lawdegree #lawstudy #lawblog #lawblogger #llb #revision #lawstudent #lawstudies #futurelawyer #lawschool #studylaw #llblaw #studymotivation #studytips #studyspo #studystudy #studyblog #studyinspo #studygramcommunity #studyaccount #studyblr #studynotes #studywithme #studying #ulaw #studyblogger #studygrammer #studylife #studyinspiration
