The Pupillage Hunt

With regard to the above comment, I agree that it's all well saying that if you have the determination you will get there, but the reality is it is much harder to secure a pupilage. I study law at London South Bank University and I'm somewhat undecided between the barrister or solicitor route. The problem is that the are both very competitive, the bar probably more so, but nonetheless a touch of reality is necessary, yet somewhat overlooked at undergraduate level, students say they are familiar with the risks associated with the profession and they probably do to a certain level. but yet still put themselves in a state of high debt in order to achieve their dreams, perhaps the bar standards board (BSB) is right to propose a mandatory aptitude test to filter out potential wanna be barristers.
