Ever wondered what the difference is between barristers and solicitors? Check out today’s episode. It’s about the Legal Profession focusing specifically on solicitors. The episode covers:

We listen to an extract from the article ‘What kind of lawyer do you want to be?’ which was published on chambersstudent.co.uk. Chambers Student is an excellent resource to find out information about studying Law in the UK.
