Working in Law

This webinar will explore the range of careers in the legal sector, alongside the entry routes into them. We'll be looking at apprenticeships and law degrees and the postgraduate training which is needed for professional level careers within the legal sector.

There are many career opportunities in law, some needing few qualifications, others requiring a degree followed by further study and training. Apprenticeships can provide a route into some areas of work. Examples of careers include:

• Barristers

• Solicitors

• Legal Executives

• Paralegals

• Licensed conveyancers

• Barristers’ clerks

• Legal secretaries

• Notaries

• Court ushers

• Trading standards officers

• Police officers

There are many more careers where a knowledge of aspects of law are required e.g. human resources staff need to have a knowledge of employment law.

Webinars are delivered via Microsoft Teams. You do not have to appear on screen if you don't want to.
