Solicitor Apprenticeship Advice

Hi,

Is there anyone who is doing a solicitor degree apprenticeship that can provide some insight into the lifestyle that you get and some tips into how to secure a contract?

I have always wanted to study law after post-16 (I am currently doing A levels) and am debating whether I should do it through the traditional way or through an apprenticeship. I do find apprenticeships to be quite appealing however the immense competition and demand of them is quite overwhelming.

I would appreciate a lot if someone could share their experience and provide some tips!

Thanks!

There are lots of videos of current Solicitor Apprentices online describing the work they do and the company they work for.

To find them google Solicitor Apprenticeship and go to each law firm and read up and research the role.

Lots of law firms also offer virtual work experience to give you some insight into their work.
Again google "virtual Law work experience " for links. Hope that helps.
