JLD says do not be put off a legal career
- 10th September 2010
The Junior Lawyers Division (JLF) of the Law Society has encouraged A’ level students who have not secured a university place to study law this year should not be put off entering the profession.
But the JLD is urging them to consider alternative routes and be sure that a legal career is for them. Kevin Poulter, a JLD executive member, says: “An increasing number of firms are recognising that there are alternative routes to becoming a solicitor. Some firms now take up to 50 per cent of trainee solicitors who don’t have a law degree.”

“What remains important is the quality of education, the class of degree and the character of the candidate,” he adds.
