Key Takeaways

Choosing a career in law, particularly as a barrister, requires a passion for advocacy and the adversarial nature of the legal systems
Prestige and respect can be motivating factors in pursuing a career in law, but they should not be the sole reasons for choosing the profession.
Education is not everything, as long as you possess analytical skills and good judgment
Hard work, dedication, and a willingness to take risks are crucial in achieving success in the legal profession. Judgment is a crucial skill in the legal profession and can be honed through experience and interaction with peers.
Remote working has both advantages and disadvantages for barristers, with the loss of in-person interaction potentially impacting the development of junior barristers.
Finding a work-life balance as a parent can be challenging, but remote working has provided opportunities for increased involvement in childcare.
Being wrong is a natural part of the legal profession, and managing the risk of being wrong requires good judgment and client care.
Success in the legal profession should be defined by being interested in what you do and putting clients at the heart of your practice.
