Why read it?
1 author picked Talking Law as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
In one respect, entry into the UK legal profession was more accessible when I qualified in the 1970s than it is today. Back in the seventies, my legal training was grant-funded. So I didnāt have to worry about money. But thatās nothing compared to the barriers faced by many women whom, until 1919, were not even allowed to train as lawyers. Barrister Penniās book contains inspirational first-hand accounts from women, from many backgrounds, who have overcome challenges to forge successful legal careers.
From V. Charles' list on becoming a lawyer in the UK.
