    I'm 40, married with a family of 4 children.

    I'm from a medical background and I'm considering doing a part time law course, I would like to become a barrister in the future and focus on medical law or work in the medical legal area

    Would anyone recommend a part time law course, I looked at the kings inn diploma and thats every week day, I was looking at the Dublin business school law degree or Athlone IT

    You could always consider the LLB in Griffith. It's an honours degree in law and has a wider recognition than the kings inns diploma. Also it is a recognised degree for the entrance exams to the kings inns. When I did the LLB in Griffith it was three nights a week usually 6pm til 9.30 or 10. Really enjoyed it. Something to look at.

    There might be a Uni doing a night course. The UCC Evening Law course is an example of this.

    By the way I should have mentioned Griffith have a college in cork too I think. Shouldn't have assumed you were Dublin based. Sorry bout that.

    +1 On Griffith although the Cork Campus is about 8 lads. IIRC there's now a Limerick Campus too but I'm not sure what they do.

    Frankly once it's an approved for the Inns just go with what's most convenient.

    Am I right in thinking they stream the lectures to Cork from Dublin?

    Very occasionally if the have a guest lecturer like Mr Justice Clarke or someone on the innocence network, they have their own staff of jobbing barristers down there :)

    Griffith always manages to surprise me in the caliber of the people they get visiting tbh.
