My aspiration is to become a barrister, but I am confused as to what I need to do to actually get there. I know that I must take the BPTC, get called to the bar and then go and attempt to gain pupillage, and then a tenancy but when should I do these things?
I am aware that you do the BPTC after your degree(s), however I read somewhere that one must "send in their admission to their selected Bar by the end of their LLB second year" - what does this mean? Does that mean that you must join an Inn of Court before the end of your second year?
