Change of heart? Law awaits
Article Abstract:
It is possible to switch to a career in law in the UK through a 36-week common professional exam course. This is an extremely demanding course covering the core legal subjects of tort, land, contract, equity, trusts, European law and constitutional and administrative law. As with conventional law graduates, those completing the course will require further training. Those wishing to be barristers must spend a year on the Bar vocation course and a year in pupilage, while those wishing to become solicitors must spend a year on a legal practice course and two years as a paid trainee with a law firm.
