Q&A with a Solicitor Apprentice | My Legal Career
Feel free to comment any further questions below and I’ll get back to you!
I’m a fourth year Level 7 Solicitor Apprentice working within an international law firm. I’m really passionate about raising apprenticeship awareness, showing life as a junior lawyer and making the legal industry more accessible - hence creating the My Legal Career platform!
I hope you find this slightly more relaxed Q&A interesting. Let me know in the comments if there’s any particular content you want to see from me! It’s slightly difficult being consistent with RUclips alongside studying and a full-time job but I’m trying!

    What stands out most about her is her ability to confront challenges with unwavering resolve. Instead of allowing setbacks to define her, she uses them as opportunities for growth and self-discovery. Her resilience in the face of adversity serves as a reminder that no obstacle is insurmountable with the right mindset and determination. Moreover, she possesses a rare gift for lifting others up. Whether through her words of encouragement, acts of kindness, or simply by being a beacon of positivity, she has a profound impact on those around her. Her generosity knows no bounds, and she is always ready to extend a helping hand to those in need. Yet, what truly inspires me about her is her authenticity. She remains true to herself and her values, unswayed by external pressures or expectations. Her genuine nature serves as a guiding light, encouraging others to embrace their uniqueness and live authentically - the Norwegian singer Sigrid. I guess this girl is doing great in this video! What is it - legal apprenticeships? I mean, we've all been there, grinding, pushing past 9 to 5, or not yet?

      She is an employee with a solicitor firm but is still a law student in her final year. As lawyers charge hourly rates up to $500 per hour ; they retain junior professional staff and still charge the client 250 per hour as essentially Clerks. That is an apprentice to a trade . When they get their law degree they often are given further employment in the firm. Civil Litigation is a fancy term for suing people; often insurance companies or other legal entities for: " damages. " These damages are often termed their Plaintiff Compensation. Might be big car accident; slip / fall at work; medical negligent doctor ; public Liability etc etc The girl is very bright ; articultate and hard working lass. They all are -- its a job that requires a lot of effort working to prove yourself and asset to the company. It's all about making billable hours and clocking up time to charge the large fees / and disbursements. They expect you to do a lot of hours.

      @@michaelburr8780 It might have been yesterday that there was a guidance for legal aid, where every lawyer would need to work about 50 hours for a court in Bristol or other areas. However, what we are looking to suggest is that perhaps it would make more sense later. Having a business where the person in this video won’t exchange time for money or work towards exchanging things like knowledge would be the best option going forward-not time for money, but knowledge!

    I would like to plead the Fifth, your honor! I would like to take this lovely young lady on a date night and play chess, making some slick moves. But being too upfront, too forward - no, she's not giving me a hard time, it's her pace! I would like to stumble once or twice, reaching out for things I can have, but where's the fun in it? As I was saying, Your Honor, this lady has provoked me with her big, beautiful eyes. One might find oneself blurting out, 'I like milk in my coffee!' But that's beside the point, Your Honor. I do like milk! As I was saying, Your Honor, this lady has provoked me with her big, beautiful eyes. One might find oneself blurting out, 'I like milk in my coffee!' But morning would come, bringing with it as many good things that are here to stay. Hence, let's create unforgettable uncomfortable experiences to remember.

    Would you ever regret sleeping with that lovely lady from the confectionery shop who has big eyes? She always looks you up and down when addressing you, kisses you, and leaves in the morning without saying anything. What a derogatory term to use - slut - I mean I love you! More than anything, on your knees begging for more - but, baby, we should set some ground rules!

    I got lost right where you've been talking about how hard it is to follow the rules. Stay with me; rules are just another way to find ourselves stuck from our real passions. I can imagine you leaning over that sticky bed, looking back at me with your black stockings. Safe word? Aluminum! Rules - don't break them, lay them down, and make people follow the rules! Ask them to speed it up or slow it down. Let's take our time! Your parents' room, coffee? You're teaching me some things about choosing to remain silent, and may I approach the beach?

      Hii ! You need to get an LLB degree or a GDL law conversion degree if you already have another degree. Look up university websites for law degrees, but they will be quite expensive. Then you need to take the SQE examinations to become a solicitor in the UK. Hope this helps and good luck!!
