AI in Law, Public Speaking Fears & Law Degrees | Partners in Crime Podcast #116
Q: Is it worth doing a law degree if you're not sure you want to be a lawyer?
A law degree offers transferable skills like analysis, research, and argumentation that benefit many professions; nonetheless, consider whether the financial and time investment aligns with your long-term goals, and explore alternatives like trades or entrepreneurial paths if your passion lies elsewhere.
AI in Law, Public Speaking Fears & Law Degrees | Partners in Crime Podcast #116
Q: Do you have any tips on how to overcome anxiety about public speaking, especially if it's making you want to avoid the bar?
Start with small, regular exposure to speaking, such as brief presentations in seminars, then gradually take on larger opportunities; practice in low-pressure groups, learn from mistakes, and build confidence through repeated, structured practice as part of a formal program like the Legal Skills Academy.
Life After the Bar Course | Building Advocacy Skills Before Pupillage with Alvaro Gutierrez Calero
Q: Has there been a real standout moment since finishing the bar course?
A standout moment occurred during a county court hearing when an unreceived bundle forced him to pivot his submissions on the fly, proving his ability to adapt, argue effectively, and use a time-order adjournment to keep the case alive.
Life After the Bar Course | Building Advocacy Skills Before Pupillage with Alvaro Gutierrez Calero
Q: What stage are you up to in your career?
Alvaro describes being in the 'in-between' stage after completing the bar course, balancing pupillage applications, ongoing pro bono work, and a legal consultancy, while building advocacy and CV strength.
When Should You Start Thinking About a Career in Law? Partners in Crime Podcast Episode #117
Q: How long does it take to become a barrister slash solicitor?
Theoretical timelines suggest about five to six years from degree to qualification, with actual paths including undergraduate study, professional training (bar course or LPC), and pupillage or training contracts; in practice, the process can take longer due to competitive bottlenecks and the need for building experience.
