Undergraduates
- Undergraduates
You’re now a law or non-law undergraduate - but there is a long path ahead.
The next three, or possibly four years are key to your career. Everyone is different, but if you want to follow the traditional routes to become a Solicitor or a Barrister there are three key components to get right.
1. Do well academically; there are more law graduates than legal jobs.
2. Get work experience; that means vacation schemes, marshalling, mini-pupillages, clerking and other jobs to show leadership, logical thinking, and hard work.
3. Find out what you want so you can act quickly. Get legal work experience in your first year and have plenty by the end of your second and spend your third year getting a training contract or pupillage by looking at our solicitors directory or chambers directory.
