DS 16 thinks he's interested in being a lawyer and I want to encourage this and see where it leads. He doesn't know whether he'd like to be a solicitor or barrister and is in the early days of understanding the profession.
He's thinking he might like to study it at uni. I am not a lawyer but remember in my day, it was considered better (?) to do another degree and then a law conversion course. Is this still the case? If so, does it matter what degree you take?
Can anyone recommend a book or website that might help inform him? I feel quite helpless as none of my friends are lawyers (bar my cousin who is a barrister but doesn't speak to the rest of the family any more as he's gone a bit weird so he is no use.)
Thank you!
