Legal Question in Business Law in United Kingdom

Re: Law as a profession

To enter pupillage as a barrister (or a solicitor traineeship), you will need to obtain a recognized credential in law such as a CPE or LLB and complete the Law Society Finals or its equivalent. Your time, effort and money should be devoted towards completing programme which will give you these credentials and deepening your knowledge of law rather than taking the somewhat retrograde step of completing your A Levels.

If you are a 'mature student' perhaps you can check whether the Open University or another institution in your area offer a 'bridging' course between your current programme and a recognized credential such as the CPE or LLB. For example, a number of UK universities such as Manchester Metropolitan U. offer such courses. These programmes generally do not require completion of A-Levels as a prerequisite and can be completed on a part-time basis. If you are unsure which programme would be best suited for you or if you require further advice, please feel free to contact me again.
