Legal Professions
Students often decide to study Law at A Level because they have an interest in the career possibilities that are linked to this course. A career as a barrister or a solicitor is something that many students have some interest but generally little knowledge of, therefore this topic looks at the process by which a student can move through the education system and qualify as either a barrister or a solicitor. We also examine the working practice from a client's point of view if they are dissatisfied with the work that has been carried out by either of the above in their contractual capacity.
A breakdown of the topic:
a) Solicitors
b) Barristers
c) Legal Services Act 2007
d) Fusion
e) Women & Ethnic Minorities in the Legal Profession
