On my way
to sit my final exam for my LLB at university, I visited the gents' nearest the
exam room. I noticed that someone had taken the trouble to write a graffito
above one of the loo-roll dispensers. It read "Law degrees, please take
one". That was getting on for 20 years ago. Perhaps today's prospective
students would benefit from paying a similar visit before signing up to their
intended courses.

The
problem with our profession is that too many young people are coming into it
for the wrong reasons. The media have glamourised it, the teaching institutions
dont teach the correct skills and the Law Society is as much use to the
profession as a chocolate teapot. Those who can do and those who cant become
Law Society administrators.

The only
advice I would give these young law students is this - if I had my time again,
knowing what I know now I would have done things very differently, I would not
have entered the legal profession.

I imagine
that a lot of us are thinking of re-training. I'm too old and fat to be in a
boy band these days, and so my options may be limited.
