I love studying law, and yes I am probably a bit of a legal geek, but honestly it is the best thing I have done, and I can’t wait to finish my BPTC at BPP and hopefully secure a Pupillage. I graduated last year and love helping law students out via my blog, which continues to grow! If you are interested in a career in law, go after it! Work hard, study hard and try and get as much exposure as you can. Another tip is make sure you are keeping up with the news. A word that is used so often now is ‘commercial awareness’, basically that is making sure you are aware of things happening in the legal world, but that you can also read other news articles and see the business, legal, financial aspects of them! Everyone has set backs, you just have to want something enough to persevere and turn your situation around – if I hadn’t done that, I certainly wouldn’t be studying the BPTC right now, running a law blog and writing content for law firms! If you have any questions about studying law, drop me a tweet or send me an email via my blog!
