[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 110992, member: 2672"] Ideally, you will need to find someone who knew you before the incident and have kept in contact since the incident. It doesn't have to be someone connected to law, it just has to be someone in a respected profession, especially one where ethics/integrity are vital (e.g doctor, accountant, teacher). You can also have multiple referees. For instance, if it was me, I would probably choose the person who for all intents and purposes is my godmother (if I had ever been christened) as she has known me all my life, and then someone who has known me for less time but is more linked to the legal industry. Getting 2-3 high quality references (e.g. they are happy to write good quality references) should be the aim here. When I worked in law firms, it wasn't unknown for the law firm to also submit a character reference for those going through the suitability test with a question mark over their record. But that obviously requires you to then disclose it to the law firm and get their support (some people do this, others don't). [/QUOTE]
