Barrister Training Adv & Disadv
  1. Advantages:
    1. non degree route for mature students so is an ideal opportunity for candidates who decide to enter profession later on in life
      1. Pupillages give on the job training
        1. Bar vocational course gives training in advocacy (speaking in court)
          1. Dining at inns of court has allowed pupils to gain 12 points by attending training courses which is better for pupils outside of London
            1. Salaries increase considerably once qualified and vocational stage is much shorter than solicitors
    2. Disadvantages
      1. Course fees are expensive and can deter pupils from poorer backgrounds
        1. No ILEX route for barristers unlike solicitors
          1. Pupillages can vary in quality and can be hard to obtain a pupillage as they are very competitive with limited places available
            1. the training salary is considerably lower than solicitors (it is around half of what solicitors get paid
              1. Pupils training through the non-law degree route only have one year of formal training on the CPE course. Questionable whether their knowledge of law is sufficient enough for the role of a barrister.
