What's your story to becoming a lawyer?

I chose law as a degree at the University of Glasgow because I saw it as being a solid academic foundation for any future career, but during the course of studying, I decided that I wanted to be a lawyer. I continued on to do my diploma in legal studies – the Scottish equivalent to the LPC – at Glasgow Graduate School of Law, and subsequently did my training contract with Bishops LLP, now Brodies. Others on my law course went on to do accountancy or consultancy work, and some became teachers – a law degree is a door-opener to a number of careers.
