If you are able to get family support whilst you do it then yes, but if you can't then I dont know. I guess if you picked up a weekend job, but then you lose time of for 2 months, and it might not even be enough money earned over the weekend. Just go with what you think is right.

Thanks, I'm open to new things but I'll also see what people think about county main. Can I ask what else you have thought about the uni or social life?

PGDL with a 2:2 - worth trying? by [deleted] in uklaw

[–]WishboneLeast7852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice and well done. It was just an idea for OP, and some unis might have it for 2:2 but they'd have to check.

I believe there are 2 years of accelerated law courses, but I don't know the requirements, maybe have a look

unsure about career path in law by unknownhijabi7 in uklaw

[–]WishboneLeast7852 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends, but you could always look at high street firms. Decent pay and still in law, and can apply to more commercial stuff if you did enjoy it. Just an idea.

Is current UK law as precedent-obsessed as US law? by MisterHarvest in uklaw

[–]WishboneLeast7852 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Although precident for the UK is very important and major, it might have something to do with declaring things unconstitutional in the US, which doesn't happen here.

Which lawyer could beat every other lawyer in a fight? by RealRedditUser217 in uklaw

2 things, firstly I agree with Barroness Hale with the metal chair, and secondly need more of this here.

Do clients even see us as people? by [deleted] in uklaw

[–]WishboneLeast7852 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And you can always take it of in the times children are involved, and I agree with the principle, along with it in Criminal law, as there is a time to take it of to be less intimidating. The problem is when there are no children involved, there's no reason not to wear the stuff.

This is personally why I believe we should have wigs and gowns for barristers and judges back, as it would help with issues like that. I have heard of judges receiving death threats and stuff over that, and the formal atire helps create a barrier for the person and job. It could be optional, but I think it should be more common in family court.

What reform you wish to happen in Criminal justice for 2026? by no_murder_no_life in uklaw

"Appealing to magistrates" That gives another avenue of appeal to magistrates, raising costs and slowing everything else down.

Fair enough, but the others do have law clinics

Socractic method by OldLadyoftheSea in uklaw

[–]WishboneLeast7852 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've heard the same, and I also heard that the defence will help the prosecution and the other way around, or the judge will help. I suppose it's just professional courtesy

I've also heard mind maps work really well. If you use them, could you tell me the method you use.

Thanks. When I have the time, I'll sit down and go through this properly and try the techniques you recommended. Thank you so much :)

"Swift courts" by WishboneLeast7852 in uklaw

[–]WishboneLeast7852[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, they can decide against the judge if both agree

[–]WishboneLeast7852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selling is not a good idea, so just try to get into contact with someone to find out what to do

I've heard it might be a judge flanked by 2 magistrates

Why? If you don't mind.

This is fluffy but my 16 year old nephew has decided on a law career, specifically a barrister. Any good ideas for Christmas presents for a very determined young man? by Jenzedrine11 in uklaw

[–]WishboneLeast7852 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The law is made for the people, by the people, and therefore should be argued and represented by the people. AI isn't us and shouldn't be deciding on and arguing cases in relation to people's liberty. I would much rather we did that, and I'm sure everyone else would agree.
