A career in law is interesting, challenging and potentially lucrative. But breaking into the legal profession is as difficult as it has ever been. Indeed, with around 50,000 full-time undergraduates studying law each year, it is hardly surprising that competition for graduate jobs in the legal sector is incredibly fierce. But don’t worry. The Lawyer is here to help.
This, the second edition of the The Lawyer Guide to a Career in Law, contains all you need to know about finding and securing that dream legal job. And although this guide has been written with A-level students in mind, it is just as helpful to those of you who have decided to pursue a legal career later in life. This guide will help those of you who are still undecided about which career path to pursue by offering an insight into the profession in bite-sized chunks.
