 Lawyers have a high public profile and a reputation which is sometimes reviled and sometimes respected. Law is now the most popular degree in the UK. We see many lawyers in popular television series, but what is the reality of a career in law? For the legally qualified who want to work in law, there are two main directions to take: barristers and solicitors.
Barristers
Barristers represent clients in court. They receive their information and instructions through a client's solicitor. When not appearing in court, they work in chambers where they prepare their court cases and arguments. There are around 14,000 barristers in the UK, 11,500 of them being self-employed.
Solicitors
Individuals, businesses and other organizations go to solicitors for advice and assistance on matters of law. Most solicitors form partnerships and work together in private practice. There are some 10,000 firms currently in private practice in the UK. There are several directions these practices can take.
General practice
