Graduate Legal & Law Jobs

Law - Digital Edition Preview - 2010

Law is a fascinating profession for graduates to enter, with three main routes into the sector.

The first, most popular, choice is to become a trainee solicitor. Following a period of professional study, graduates will undertake a two year training contract at a solicitors' firm, which can be anything from a one-partner high street practice, to a firm housing several thousands of solicitors.

The other common route for graduates is to become a pupil barrister, which again involves professional study, followed by a one-year pupillage with barristers' chambers.

The third route is to choose to become a legal executive - a qualifying route which has lower entry criteria and so has the advantage of enabling non-law graduates to swap to a career in law using part-time study.

Some of the graduate careers available in this sector:

Trainee solicitor I Pupil barrister I Legal executive I Government Legal Service trainee I Crown prosecutor
