I'm going to an open day for the BPP Law school in one of the London centres this saturday, so i'll be writing up a post on that soon afterwards. I'm ever so excited, and hopefully going there will reinforce the reasons why I wanted to go into law in the first place, and show a bit of an insight as to what I'll expect after my degree.
The trouble is, I still don't which type of lawyer I want to be yet. I have at least three years from now, but I know that'll go swiftly. I know that whichever type of lawyer I become, I shall definitely go into Human rights law, as that interests me most (I wanted to do criminal but my mum opposes.) but I just don't know which type of lawyer. I'd love to be a barrister (I can be quite argumentative and would love to verbally defend) but I'm scared It'd be too competitive and expensive and I know that my skills can't guarantee me the job.
I know becoming a solicitor would also be pricey and competitive, but I feel it may be somewhat more manageable than going into the Bar. I already fear that my ethnicity, poorer background and gender are set backs, and going to uni where a lot of people seem smarter than me doesn't ease those insecurities. Hopefully all shall work out in by the time I reach that hurdle eh?
The rants of a baby law student. Occasional politics &and personal stuff. All my own thoughts, I am capable of that much...
hello! Nice blog you have here. Regarding what type of lawyer you want to be, I wouldn t worry to much about now, I'll figure it out soon enough if you're passionate about law in general. Also, don't talk yourself down, a lot of ppl how made a great career didn't succeed because they were geniouses but because hard work paid off! Chin up!
ReplyDeleteaww thank you very much! You're absolutely right, I am passionate about law, so I guess I will figure it out. I'll just keep working hard. :)
ReplyDeleteU welcome! Was looking for an email address on your blog but haven't found one, I would like to drop you an email.
ReplyDeleteoh, it's godblessaisha@hotmail.co.uk :)
ReplyDeleteahh my NIGERIAN mum wanted me to do law. I guess she feels I argue well. Ended up doing fashion menswear. So I guess you just have to choose what suits you best. : )
ReplyDeleteYeah, hopefully I'll discover what suits me best in time, as that's what I'm afraid of, but thanks for the advice :)
ReplyDeleteYep, plenty of time to decide... the more areas of law you can experience, the better.
ReplyDelete:-)
definitely! :)
