I've just submitted this blog to a webring for legally inclined weblogs...
In fact that's what it's called, it can be seen here.

Since I last posted, I have joined Lincoln's Inn and so I now have a membership card which proves that I want to be a barrister!

I have also secured paid employment at a small solicitor's firm in the nearby market town of Wem. It's a nice working environment, and the firm also act as property agents so I get some variety. Now I know you're all thinking that I've sucombed to my venal instincts and become an estate agent, but it's really not all that bad. Mixing a bit of pleasant country solicitor with the hard-nosed salesman tames an otherwise foul 'profession' and makes it easier for me to live with myself.

As for the legal side of things, I'm able to slake my raging thirst for conveyancing, wills and the other items on the menu in the provinces. I honestly cannot wait to apply to the BVC so that I can get away to some good crime! I've already been to court once as a rep for the practice... we got thrown out. Best to learn about defeat before it counts I suppose.

The plan is to get called and then return to the provinces for pupillage and a few years on the bottom rung of the tenant's ladder. So - where should I go to do the BVC?
