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
get one that gives you the good jobs
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
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

Did Soup Dad no take you to the cleaners, Whiskers
Oh I'm good, just waking up. Enjoying this legal talk but was just a little lost
haha, im also kinda shit at explaining it, plus im only in 2nd year so theres still tonnes i'v not been told
I enjoy it too. Never knew Endo was doing it.
So awesome.
What do you do @Tea?
Yeah I had no idea and think it's interesting, especially since I have little knowledge in that field
another thing to mention is that what i know is only relevant to england and wales, NI and scotland have their own that i'd only be able to persuasively inform on not legally, same with the US and CA, and i think AUS as well
