Criminal

The specialism you pick at twenty-two determines the work you are offered at thirty-five.

Criminal practice is chosen young or not at all. The hours are unsociable, the funding is poor and the advocacy is better than anywhere else in the profession.

What the work is actually like

Two nights a week on the police station rota in your first three years, and a trial diary you do not control. Nobody tells students this clearly enough.

Why people stay

You are on your feet within months rather than years. A commercial pupil may not address a judge alone until their second year of tenancy.
