Birmingham or Leeds for Law LLB?

Ooh both are in top 20! Law firms will like both! What career do you want-solicitor/barrister?

From a recruiter's perspective it is difficult to draw a clear distinction between the two - I would say they are fairly similar in terms of reputation and how well connected they are to law firms.

Leeds - great law faculty with strong connections to both regional and city firms, strong law society with large number of careers events, organise a "law in the city" event with a number of firms based in London.

Birmingham - pretty much the same as above, only difference I would say is their law society isn't as active in terms of careers events, but they also have their own "Birmingham law in the city event" which has been running for a good 7+ years now

I've worked closely with both unis over the course of my career and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend either of them.

I'ld say Birmingham has the stronger reputation. I've met a lot of future trainees and vac-schemers from Birmingham
