5.0 out of 5 stars Simply brilliant, 8 Sep 2008

By	D. Cole (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What an excellent book! Highly recommended for anyone who is interested in a career at the Bar. Very well written and easy to understant. This book goes through all the training stages leading up to pupillage and has very handy hints and tips from pupils and current barristers. I especially liked the section giving an overview on the different areas of practice and the adivce on applying for pupillage.

Make sure you read this book if a career in the Bar is something you are thinking about!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT POCKET BOOK TESTIMONIAL FOR THE TRAINEE BARRISTER, 20 Dec 2008

By	Phillip Taylor (Richmond Upon Thames, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great little book: most informative. I did not have something like this when I completed my Pupillage as my training was more in line with of the observations and experiences made by Lord Phillips in his excellent Foreword. It is the modern networkers pocket book and justifiably heavy on detail with a great glossary and splendid sections on funding and resources which are directly relevant for the modern trainee barrister.

There is an impressive list of contributors giving sage pieces of advice throughout and I particularly liked comments on the ridiculous weight placed on the dreadful MCTs which are, to many, one of the hardest parts of the course.

My only constructive observation is the need in a future edition for comments on continuous personal professional development which is the current 'in thing' with so many modern professionals who seem to think this is the future. I am sure any reader will find the opinions in this guide excellent value for the job seeker, and all will know you are only as good as how up-to-date you are with legal reform and the common law reasoning system.

Most of the information is common sense as the student hurdles the various fences of legal training and I would urge all to be realistic about the practice areas you might wish to pursue (they are well covered here).

It has been my experience that whatever your career plan on your individual postage stamp, fate will have surprises in store- this testimonial guide is the best help and I wish I had had it all those years ago.

I would ask Georgina and Alexander to keep this thoroughly revised when it goes into its next edition and please do comment on CPD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential knowledge for the would be barrister., 3 Oct 2009

By	Legal Eaglet "Legal Eaglet" (Lancashire England) - See all my reviews

I am a student on the GDL therefore have not had the luvery of three years to build on my knowledge of the Bar and this book helped me in two ways. Firstly it assured me that the steps I had taken so far were the right ones - but more importantly it pointed out the why's, when's and how's of committing oneself to the necessary extra curricular activities, that make an application for pupillage credible. Without following the guidance offered in this book I imagine you would have great difficulty securing pupillage. I am a mature student entry and I have yet to apply for pupillage. This book can make the path ahead appear daunting. But forewarned is forearmed and I have watched others, who did not have the benefit of this book and who did not follow its prescription, fail to attain the final steps after so many years hard work.
