A career in law may not be guaranteed and students should think twice before committing to the profession, the Law Society has warned.
A triple whammy of competition for position for places on training contracts, the high cost of legal education and the recession means that a career in the law is perhaps no longer as attractive as it once was.
The Law Society said that over the past year 7,000 people have completed the £10,000 Legal Practice Course, but that there are currently only 6,000 training contracts available.
