@DavidLat Might also be worth noting that in England Law is an undergrad course, while a few places do it in two years, three is the norm
@UCDLawSchool @JoeMoore42: Interesting! And for the two years prof'l training, do you pay or do you get paid by employer?

@DavidLat@JoeMoore42 It is the individual's own responsibility to secure a training contract; one is not guaranteed by the Law Society. -
@UCDLawSchool@JoeMoore42: Sounds a lot like Canada's "articling" system.

@DavidLat@JoeMoore42 Trainee solicitors are paid at least national minimum wage; bar students & pupil barristers are not. -
@UCDLawSchool@davidlat Though that's because there isn't a minimum wage for the Bar, as barristers are self employed. -
@JoeMoore42@davidlat All the same, in England & Wales chambers must pay pupils £1,000 monthly minimum (as award or guaranteed earnings).
