Become a lawyer

I got an average of 88% in the first term’s compulsory exams so am on course for a distinction on the LPC – just need to pass though to start my job. Fingers crossed. Only a month of classes and exams then I’m done!

I completed my 3 year law degree and graduated in 2005. I’m now nearing the end of the legal practice course (the professional vocational course in the UK for becoming a solicitor). I have a fully sponsored Training Contract which I will start in September. After those 2 years of training are done I’ll finally be a qualified solicitor – only 6 years in the making!! I’ll be the ripe old age of 25yrs old when I get my practising certificate (barring any unforeseen events).
