LAW The UK legal sector is undergoing a considerable amount of change, driven by factors such as the Legal Services Act, the increasingly international nature of legal work and substantial reviews of legal education and training following the Legal Education and Training Review (LETR). Combined with the lasting effects of the recession and waves of government cuts, this means that today’s lawyers face exciting and challenging opportunities in their work. As such, whilst many Oxford graduates still follow the traditional routes opportunities in the longer term. 136 SOLICITORS At present, the majority (74%) of the UK’s 118,000 which are owned and managed by the partners. These of commerce (such as corporate matters and commercial litigation) and those that deal with clients with personal legal dilemmas (such as family issues or criminal matters). The remaining 26% of solicitors work outside private practice partnerships, and their number is growing. After experience, many solicitors move away from private practice into a variety of governmental, business or not-for- UK and internationally. GETTING IN AND ENTRY POINTS This is a highly regulated profession, with several steps to practise as a solicitor. First there is the academic stage, (i.e. the BA in Jurisprudence) or, for non-law students, the through the Legal Practice Course (LPC), which is required for both law and non-law graduates. Finally, there is the practical stage, a “period of recognised training” usually known as the Training Contract. discussed, so keep up to date by following the Solicitors Regulation Authority and legal news. There are approximately 5,000 training contracts available each year, and well over 90% of them lie within the private practice sector. The remaining positions are to be found in the Government Legal Service, local government, legal departments in industry, and, occasionally, the Crown Prosecution Service. Once this phase is completed, you are entitled to practise as a solicitor. Short periods of paid work experience are Summer holidays, as well as opportunities to attend ‘Open career for you. BARRISTERS There are approximately 12,000 barristers at the independent (or self-employed) Bar, practising in 339 sets of chambers across England and Wales. A further 3,000 work in an employed capacity for numerous organisations, including the Government Legal Service and the Crown Prosecution Service, as well as in commerce and industry. There is much discussion in the legal press about the future of the self-employed Bar, stemming from the increasing pressures on public funding and its allocation, the increase in solicitors’ rights of audience, and government reforms in the way that legal services will be provided (including the Legal Services Act). However, barristers continue to provide essential and effective services, often attracting headline cases from both the UK and beyond. Barristers practise in a wide variety of legal areas – some well known, such as family, criminal and property, and others less so, such as intellectual property and international border disputes. There can be considerable differences in the nature and lifestyle of a barrister’s work, and some almost never appear in court. Family or criminal barristers may appear in court most days, whilst barristers specialising in commercial work may spend the majority of their time drafting pleadings and opinions. However, advocacy remains a vital skill for the barrister, and it is one of the most distinctive elements of this role. Pia Dutton Barrister, 3 Verulam Buildings “The route to the Bar is hard and competitive. You must look the prospect of failure square in the eyes, and be prepared to stand up again if you fall. If you are able to do this, you will eventually succeed.” GETTING IN AND ENTRY POINTS
