Career Switch
I am about to complete my PhD and have finally realised that an academic job is not for me. I want to make the jump into the legal sector. Bearing in mind that I do not have a law degree, would this be possible?

Yes. Start with a PGDL. Then train as a barrister or solicitor. But note that competition for training places is intense.
