Beginnersguide15.Pdf Your pre-university checklist If you do decide that a career as a lawyer is for you, there are a few things you should be doing even before you start university. Here is a brief checklist to get you started and help focus your mind: Read the business pages of the newspapers to improve your commercial awareness. Talk to your careers adviser at school to go through your options. Research the different paths into law – university, Chartered Institute of Legal Executives, paralegal, apprenticeships… Get some practical work experience at a law firm, barristers’ chambers or legal advice centre; it will help you to decide what’s right for you and will also improve any applications you make later. Work hard at your academic studies. Good grades are essential! Talk to friends, parents, acquaintances – anyone with a connection to the legal profession; they may also be able to help you get some work experience. Think about the kinds of extracurricular things you can do to make yourself into a well-rounded candidate. Think sport, volunteering, music… Welcome If you think you might be interested in law as a future career, but have little (or no) idea what that really means, The Beginner’s Guide to a Career in Law is for you. The guide has been designed with people like you in mind – on the one hand, we’ve assumed no prior knowledge, while on the other, we’ve assumed you’ll have lots of questions. Within these pages you will find information about the job of a lawyer, the differences between the three main types of legal professional (solicitors, barristers and chartered legal executives), and the courses and training you need to complete in order to qualify. There is also a selection of key questions, a welcome reality check and – for those who want to find out more – ideas on some of the next steps to take. 01 The Beginner’s Guide is brought to you by LawCareers.Net, the number one resource for those interested in joining the legal profession. On the website you will find employer profiles; interviews with recruiters and trainees; advice from LC.N’s resident agony aunt, the Oracle; blogs from people at different stages of their legal career quest; information on law courses (undergraduate and postgraduate); and a searchable database of training contract and pupillage vacancies. Welcome to the first stage of your legal career! www.lawcareers.net What Solicitors Generally speaking, solicitors provide advice and assistance on matters of law. They are lawyers do the first point of contact for people and organisations (eg, companies and charities) seeking legal advice and representation.

Branches of the profession One of the key questions to address when considering a legal career is what type of lawyer you want to be. For many, that will mean deciding between becoming a solicitor or a barrister. For some, the option to ‘earn while you learn’ as a chartered legal executive will appeal. Simply put, a barrister appears in court, while a solicitor or chartered legal executive works in a law firm. The term ‘lawyer’ applies to all three. However, the differences are much more complex. Some say that it comes down to whether you are an individualist (barrister) or a team player (solicitor/legal executive). While it is true that a barrister is almost always self-employed and connected to other barristers only by convenience, and a solicitor/legal executive 04 may be just one worker in a law firm of thousands of people, in reality the situation is less black and white.

  • Commission Members Secretariat Team Mark Evan
    Commission on Justice in Wales Oral Evidence Session 18th January 2019 Present: Commission members Secretariat team Mark Evans (ME) Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd, Chair Andrew Felton, Simon Davies Secretary to the Paul Hopkins QC (PH) Professor Elwen Evans QC Commission Rhodri Williams QC (RW) Dr Nerys Llewelyn Jones Dave Gordon Juliet Lyon CBE Chris James Frances Edwards (FE) Sarah Payne CBE Rhys Thomas Professor Rick Rawlings Professor Peter Vaughan Question area: Welsh Government funding apprenticeships in the legal sector FE: CILEx believes there is an opportunity to expand legal apprenticeships to increase diversity in the legal sector and retain talent in Wales. Qualifying can’t be seen as “one size fits all” and there needs to be lower level apprenticeships feeding into higher level apprenticeships. Apprenticeships should not be seen by employers as a less valuable route into law than the university route. There is demand in Wales for apprenticeships leading to higher level qualifications but there is not a pool of providers at the moment. Employers may be dissuaded from following the apprenticeship route if there are onerous and bureaucratic requirements that relate to funding. Policy and funding models should take these factors into account and if so CILEx supports the expansion of apprenticeships in the legal sector. PH: If apprenticeship funding could be used to create means to fund additional pupillages in Wales, particularly in the field of civil law to build the cohort of civil practitioners in Wales, this would be something the Circuit would support. It is important to build the base of practitioners in Wales who could then do work for the Welsh Government.

  • Pupillage: What to Expect
    PUPILLAGE: WHAT TO EXPECT WHAT IS IT? Pupillage is the Work-based Learning Component of becoming a barrister. It is a 12- 18 month practical training period which follows completion of the Bar Course. It is akin to an apprenticeship, in which you put into practise everything you have learned in your vocational studies whilst under the supervision of an experienced barrister. Almost all pupillages are found in sets of barristers’ chambers. However, there are a handful of pupillages at the ‘employed bar’, which involves being employed and working as a barrister in-house for a company, firm, charity or public agency, such as the Crown Prosecution Service. STRUCTURE Regardless of where you undertake your pupillage, the training is typically broken down into two (sometimes three) distinct parts or ‘sixes’. First Six First six is the informal name given to the first six months of pupillage. It is often referred to as the non-practising stage as you are not yet practising as a barrister in your own right. The majority of your time in first six will be spent attending court and conferences with your pupil supervisor, who will be an experienced barrister from your chambers. In a busy criminal set, you will be in court almost every day (unlike your peers in commercial chambers). In addition to attending court, you will assist your supervisor with preparation for court which may include conducting legal research and drafting documents such as advices, applications or skeleton arguments (a written document provided to the court in advance of a hearing). During first six you will be required to attend a compulsory advocacy training course with your Inn of Court.
