I know a few ppl that have done it, theyve all given it rave reviews in so much as incredibly interesting and stimulating. I do know however that they have high entry requirements academically, I have had friends who were on verge of firsts not get in cause grades werent gud enuf. Every1 i know that got in had firsts.
As for job prospects I really don't know, have heard anecdotally its tough to get into Criminal Law firms (and tough even in comparison to getting into a big 5!)

People i would be very grateful for any feedback you would have to offer me! I have been offered a place on the above programme and i'm in a pickle over what to do. Should i accept this course?? or should i consider something else and if so, any suggestions?? And please dont reply saying to try and get legal work experience.....been there tried that, its currently near on impossible to get!
I've completed a law degree and i have my FE1's done but no training contract and i'm basically stuck in limbo and I need to do something this year to stop me going crazy:(

Not a solicitor, but do what you want to do. People here can only advise.

If you have the time and can afford it then why not do it??? It can only make you better at the end of the day.......unless you have an interest in another course.

Ya i guess i'm just looking for other people's opinions really, i know i'm my own person at the end of the day but, its good to have other people's prespectives sometimes. I have been accepted to other courses, other very different courses and im confused as to what is the right path to take :rolleyes:
