NON-TRADITIONAL BACKGROUNDS AND THE LAW: BECOMING A BARRISTER WITHOUT PUPILLAGE!

SERIES 2: NON-TRADITIONAL BACKGROUNDS AND THE LAW: HOW CAN I BECOME A BARRISTER WITHOUT PUPILLAGE?
Over the last few weeks I have shared several vlogs by several legal professionals including apprentices, paralegals, solicitors, trainees, pupils and barristers. I hope you have all found the vlogs as insightful as I have.
To finish of this series of vlogs is @Rebbecca Keeves’ (Barrister at Cornwall Street Barristers) AMAZING vlog!
As many of you will already be aware, I recently shared @Anwar’s vlog which stated that it was possible to become a solicitor without a Training Contract. Rebecca’s vlog focuses on how it is possible to become a barrister without a Pupillage! I know, who’d have thought it was possible?
Rebecca provides a very real and honest insight into how difficult breaking into the profession can be. I know that many people in my network are from non-traditional backgrounds and I hope that like me, you will resonate with Rebecca’s story and take a great deal away from it!
I urge every aspiring barrister to watch Rebecca’s vlog which is available below:
As always, if you have any questions then feel free to comment below or personally message myself or Rebecca. I know Rebecca is very open to answering questions about the CILEX route and has run zoom sessions to discuss it previously- so look out for more of those in future!
