Becoming a law student through the non-traditional route (not pursuing a law degree) has become something common these days. So no matter the subject that you are currently studying, you have a shot at becoming a solicitor at a top firm! During my placement year, I have actually met many brilliant lawyers who did not actually study law! So I guess that transferrable skills really are a thing when it comes to the legal field now!

Lawcareers.net made a complete guide on what it takes to become a solicitor as a non-law student, so make sure to check it out now!

Yes, I really encourage anyone to do this path instead of the traditional one. Everyone I have spoken with was satisfied. The law degree is just a pain
