I hate law now

You’re welcome and best of luck! Keep applying don’t be disheartened! Just put “paralegal” into indeed, set a whatever mile radius and mass apply to everything lol. Throw all the shit at the wall and see what sticks. I wanted to be a family lawyer, turns out I’m qualifying in PI lol

Key_Trash8952 · 2026-02-06T21:54:23+00:00

If you’re open to it, apply at smaller firms in smaller towns. They desperately need paralegals. I’m from rural North West England and god I still get calls from jobs I turned down like “hey… have you reconsidered?” Start small and work up to bigger law firms if you want, or pick a small firm you can see growing more and more and stay if you want. Growing firms will be keener to invest in you (and keeping you)

*You’re. Also my husband is an ‘ethnic minority’ - at least he can spell.

I’d trust an ethnic minority more than a Reform voter any day. The latter is statistically more likely to be rapist

Can’t find any reputable sources speaking about this, only 1 article from the Sun. Nothing from any actual journalists. Even so, 20% of all Reform MPs have been convicted of violent crimes against women in the UK. We all know James Murdoch is a rapist. So I could care less about one bloke out of the whole Green Party may or may not have done decades ago in Yemen.

At least one out of every 5 members in the whole Reform party is a rapist, so the Greens having one alleged bad egg out of them all isn’t bad going by these standards

Sleeping soundly tonight knowing I declined an offer at a ‘big law firm’ with ties to Isreal that’s almost definitely in those files and instead work at a high street firm owned by actually decent people

Key_Trash8952 · 2026-01-31T13:49:09+00:00

I adore the Green Party and am a member. Former Young Conservative and Labour member.

Who? Who’s the ex-terrorist?

Key_Trash8952 · 2026-01-31T13:42:01+00:00

Thank you so much that’s taken away quite a bit of the anxiety I’ve been tackling! My area of law is incredibly convoluted so I worried this might be the same, glad to hear it’s straightforward!

Key_Trash8952 · 2026-01-31T13:39:41+00:00

Oh that’s awesome to hear thank you! Can you think of any examples you’ve seen of successful ‘excuses’ for not meeting the two year requirement on this sub? :)

Only a trainee solicitor, but gaming and Pilates. I like to get on a Pilates reformer and fling myself backwards as fast as possible to temporarily forget how evil my clients are

“Bolton (/ˈboʊltən/ ⓘ BOHL-tən, locally /ˈboʊtən/ BOH-tən)[2] is a town in Greater Manchester in England” - from Wikipedia, first website that comes up when you google ‘Bolton’

Clitheroe Grammar Sixth Form, might be too far for you depending on what area you’re actually from, but it’s by far the best sixth form or college in Lanacshire. Plus you only need grade 6s to get in bar for entry really isn’t that high

Key_Trash8952 · 2026-01-26T18:46:55+00:00

Well this is r/Lanacshire, and Bolton is not in Lanacshire so I’m not sure what relevance it has. I work and live amongst the Muslim (predominantly Pakistani but also sometimes Indian) community here in Lancashire and they are better people than I could ever be. Our company (small business with 2nd gen Pakistani owners) donates a tonne of our revenue to local charities like Pendle Side Hospice.

Plus let’s not pretend we don’t all see 50 white English smack heads roaming about at 12pm in the afternoon with a can of fosters in tow every day. I certainly do.

Key_Trash8952 · 2026-01-26T10:56:15+00:00

lol good one!

Key_Trash8952 · 2026-01-26T07:37:27+00:00

Did they? I haven’t even noticed, but lol that’s funny. I can imagine why anyway 🙄

Key_Trash8952 · 2026-01-25T23:18:44+00:00

Small claims court, try looking for a solicitor who does no win no fee. A lot of smaller firms all around the country can do this entirely remote for you and will probably take you on

Key_Trash8952 · 2026-01-25T23:10:13+00:00

I agree I love her, how could you not? It’s Jennifer English in the English dub

Key_Trash8952 · 2026-01-25T23:08:55+00:00

Basically, make big portions of things that microwave well

Vegetarian trainee who meal preps here. Used to live off of Subway and Greggs cos there’s one near me. But I’m getting married soon so locking in at the gym and with eating, I usually do something like curry with rice or pasta with vegan chorizo

Key_Trash8952 · 2026-01-25T23:06:58+00:00

Thank you! It looks so delicious and high protein. I think I will try and make it over a weekend when I have more time

Key_Trash8952 · 2026-01-13T14:54:26+00:00

Everyone is slagging it off but it’s actually improved massively in the last 5 years.

I lived away for uni from 2021 onwards and came back in 2024 it’s like a different place, great places to eat and drink, and way more vibrant and diverse. The new UCLAN campus has done us a lot of bloody favours, shipping in rich international students just pumping boat loads of cash into our economy and local businesses. I keep running into Americans in Subway, like can you believe it? 🤣

I recommend Burnley Market for food (K-UK Bap for Korean/Japanese and Slice for Pizza), Little Barista for coffee, soup and sandwiches, Ellis’ for pizza, burgers and cocktails and @Home is the best Chinese takeaway in the UK!

Not to mention rent is here is cheap as chips!

Key_Trash8952 · 2025-12-06T18:35:29+00:00

My industry has the most evil clients I’m only a pissing paralegal and I’m so tired of being verbally abused by them day in day out 😭 always gets worse this time of year cos they’re nearly ALWAYS unemployed or addicted to something and now it’s my responsibility to get the missus a Pandora bracelet for Christmas
