Trainee Solicitor Surgery is for anyone who is studying or training to become a solicitor – or anyone considering it. Through a mixture of advice and information from experienced sources and real life case studies, we aim to help young lawyers make the right decisions about their career paths.
For many, working as a solicitor provides an immensely interesting, challenging and rewarding career. The legal profession is a well established profession with many varied and wonderful opportunities and every year many young lawyers enter the profession having found their lifetime vocation.
On the flip side of this, every year large numbers of law students who are desperate to become solicitors fall by the wayside because they have not followed the right steps or because they were not aware of the realities of entering the profession.
Equally disturbing is the fact that many law students become solicitors every year when this isn’t the right career path for them to take.
Trainee Solicitor Surgery is the most balanced, honest and real world resource for anyone considering a career as a solicitor.
Our mission is twofold: (1) to ensure solicitors entering the profession do so having fully thought through their career choice so they find the type of work and firm that suits them best and (2) to prevent people entering the profession who will later join the large band of unhappy solicitors in this world.
Trainee Solicitor Surgery will help you undergo some healthy self-analysis in order to discover whether the law is really for you and then help you consider your options whichever direction you then decide to travel in.
