Interesting Career Question:

If you think you would be good at articulate speeches, rigorous cross-examinations and lightning-fast thinking, a career as a barrister could be for you. The route to this profession starts with a university degree. This does not have to be in law, you could study something else and then complete a conversion course. This is followed by the official bar professional training course, which can be completed in a year full-time or two years part-time. After that you will enter the Pupil age phase, during which you will spend a year as a pupil in a barrister's chambers or other approved organisation. You will then be able to start practicing, either self-employed or in an existing practice.
