The Student Lawyer is a careers platform for the routes into law that most advice overlooks. We are practical, levelling, and honest about what each route actually involves, because the City training contract is one way in, not the only one.
We are written by people close to the work: trainees, paralegals, and solicitors at high street and regional firms, alongside the students coming up behind them. Our aim is simple: clear, trustworthy guidance that treats you as capable of handling the real picture.
