law is just a generally good degree to have, looks better than some on a CV
It' legal in Italy, but it must have THC below 0.6%
I don't smoke but I support non schizophrenic adults' right to
If you want to do solicitor work try get an apprenticeship seems like the better route these days.
@Auto-Elf really? The fuck
A greek friend told me the cops will walk right past oldies smoking and not say anything, but they arrest young people for smoking it and the laws are (were?) pretty harsh
well thats essentially what a training contract is, but the law degree is almost required, theres only like 1 other route to go down i think, once the training contract is done and i get the lpc or whatever done i'd be a fully qualified and legal-to-work solicitor
or i become a paralegal and earn shite money 🤷🏻
See i would apply for an apprenticeship but i want to be a barrister and because the British legal system is so up its own arse with tradition it seems unlikely that will ever happen.
@zalfir well here in canada before the legalisation most provinces didn’t care really. In B.C. when I first landed here for my working holiday dispensary’s would sell it to you if you said you had a bad back or whatever and cops would walk past you if you were smoking it.
@Endecros How much practical solicitors experience do you need to go it on your own, or do you just need the degree?
Or is practical training given within the degree kind of how medicine is?
plus the fact that becoming a barrister is fuckin insanely hard
we get practical experience within the degree itself, and that counts as kinda like work experience
That's why barristers are always 40+ sometimes, right?
atm we do SLP which is simulated legal practice but in 3rd year its all about working with real people
edit: in Australia) most of the time that i've seen people bothered by the cops for ganja, they've told them to just tip it out on the ground, they'll literally just destroy the stuff instead of arrest them
Aye, the degree and BPTC is easy enough, getting a pupillage takes like 2 years to be accepted for one if its not too competitive
unless they're driving, driving+stoned = arrest
yeah its ridiculous, even like straight 1st student isnt nearly enough of a guarantee and im nowhere near that. the 6 fig earnings are good if you can figuratively in bed with the clerk
Sorry for asking loads of questions, just interesting.
its just what legal practice would be like, only the people are made up, one of our lecturers is an ex-solicitor but not all of em are
so yea basically
Ahh, I see.
That’s why I’m trying to get into Cambridge (unlikely) but if i can then it might make it easier to get a pupillage since ill have some metaphorical clout trying to get onto a commercial law pupillage
Good morning, and what is slp Sorry for not knowing
Simulated Legal Practice
