A career in legal advice work?

There’s a great profile of the life of a legal adviser for students here. Useful for two things - firstly, for students to consider the impact of funding cuts on legal services, and secondly as an example of a specific legal career path to help your students think beyond the usual favourites (the City and crime, for example?).

There’s also plenty of material in here about the skills needed by legal advisers, and even a reference to the impact of the Treaty of Rome on benefits law, with the Law Centre concerned having a test case before the ECJ in the pipeline.
