The Aspiring Lawyer's First Book

For those who wish to become lawyers and are thinking of doing some sort of conversion course or taking the law degree at university just stop and think for a moment. The costs alone for the course is a lot of money. Law books cost anywhere around £40-£50 and altogether each year the cost for books alone can add up to over £200 ($322) and that is for a single year only. On top of the costs for books there is also the tuition fees for the course which ranges between £2000 - £4000 which is roughly $3228 - $6456. These are just the start of the costs for getting your way into the competitive field of law. For those who wish to become barristers or solicitors there is also the law course which needs to be taken after the law degree at university ranges from £7000 - £10,000 which is roughly £ 11,300 - £16,143.

As mentioned briefly before the legal field is very competitive indeed which means that once you have completed all the courses and have gotten your degree there is not a 100 percent guarantee that you will get a job. This means that essentially all that money would have gone down the drain and you would be stuck doing a job which has no relation to your course degree that you have spent a gruelling 3 years to complete and achieve.

There are also many different ways to get into the law field other than taking the traditional law school route. Some of these alternative routes you will be glad to hear are lot cheaper and the opportunity costs of taking them is a lot less meaning you will save more money if things were not to work out in the end. These alternative paths came about in the 1970's and the best part of these alternative ways of getting into the law field is that they will be completed by you at your own time and there is no curricular so there is no sense of being rushed through one area that you may not understand. The reason for this is that these are personalised and catered to suit you in every way possible. Alternative ways are also good because they have a high success rate in terms of getting employment also they give you many different options as to how to get into the job you wish to do successfully. The books are very helpful as they list down all the possible ways to get into the job you wish to do and also hint at which ones are most risk free and which paths have a good chance of bring about success.
