Thinking Of Joining The Army
Well, since I have lost interest in pursuing a political career I have considered joining the army as a Legal Officer. I have looked at the British Army website and it appears you can become a Major within five years, which is cool.
Any idea what the salary would be? And would I get to fight and kill?

So on appointment, you are automatically given the rank of captain which is paid at £39,236pa initially and rises to £46,660 with length of service. Major starts at £49,424pa and rises to £59,191pa. Not bad.

Would it be more or less than a civilian lawyer? (Obviously I'm sure higher-end lawyers would be worth more but what about on average?).

It depends on firm, as you note. Average solicitor earns about £35,000, so you'd be automatically £4000 above the average once you are commissioned as a legal officer. Junior solicitors at your average high street firm aren't going to be earning anywhere near £35,000.

Besides the money, you also get to take part in bolloxing the regular soldiers. That'll be fun.

And your inability to recognise humour is nauseating.
We're assuming you'll have all the requisite qualifications for the Branch:
"You must be a barrister, solicitor or advocate qualified in England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. "
