[QUOTE="Jane Smith, post: 41109, member: 7481"] So it sounds like your original degree in criminal law at Leeds did not cover you for the legal subjects you need for the bar so you are having to do the PGDL as you did not cover subjects like contract, tort etc during your first degree? As said above both are just a means to an end (qualifying) so will not help or hinder in terms of jobs. If you want to qualify as a solicitor then you will need to do the LPC year course after the PGDL and hopefully you will have applied to law firms to pay your PGDL and LPC fees already or it not will start to do so. You should also look at the new system to qualify for solicitors - SQE exams in case that will be a better option for you (this is for solicitors, not barristers). [/QUOTE]
