If I Have A Criminal Record, Can I Still Become A Lawyer
A profession in law is a popular concept as it attracts high salaries and secure careers. To become a solicitor or barrister involves a fairly complicated and exceptionally competitive process. If you can get the grades at school to study a Law degree, a four year course, then a further year in a Legal Practice Course (LPC) before finally undertaking two years in a ‘training contract’ at a legal organisation (assuming you can get one) none of which guarantees you a job in law. All this is very competitive from the outset and lends itself to recruiting the ‘best of the best’.
