The Graduate Route into Law

This episode explores the graduate route into the legal profession.

Show Notes

The ReImagineLAW team welcome guests Joseph Toft, second year LLB Law student and Jessica Piggot a solicitor at Reed Smith LLP.

Joseph discusses the actions from episode 3 and speaks with Jess about her career pathway of not undertaking a law degree. 

This episode encourages listeners to undertake some practical actions after listening to the episode:

1. Topics you initially aren't considering might surprise you: talk to a fellow student or tutor about a module in next year's course you know little about.
2. Talk to someone working in the sector you are considering: and then ask them "What other routes did you consider?".
3. Do something which stretches yourself and takes you out of your comfort zone in relation to you educational and/or career path.
