There is absolutely no reason why you cannot become a lawyer with a LLB from OU. Whether you want to become a Solicitor or Barrister, your legal education does not end after undergrad. Therefore, where you did your undergrad becomes slightly less important than potentially within other careers as there will be a qualification past your LLB that is more important when people are looking to hire. Also, the supposed prejudice that perhaps used to accompany different universities is certainly becoming something of the past. In most application processes for becoming employed as a lawyer, the chambers or firm tend to remove information such as where you studied so that there is no underlying bias. Therefore, wherever you choose to study, if you get a good grade at undergrad then it will not hold you back in the future!
