hi there
one o my bessies got a 2:1 from Anglia Polytech , but then did the BVC and also a LLM with distinction. she wants to become a barrister. she applied for two consecutive years for pupillage but got turned down. meanwhile she worked as a paralegal for the past 2 years. do you think she can still get into the Bar?
my other mate got a low 2:1 from some rubbish uni, did the LPC and didnt get any training contracts so paralegalled for a year then that firm offered her a training contract.
How easy/hard is it to go from being a paralegal into a barrister ? i always thought any doss could become a paralegal and at most they like the LLB. ??
