The Best Law Graduate Jobs in the Marketplace

The pressure placed on UK law graduates to succeed in the marketplace is at a high point in this new century. Law graduates, after all, fill important positions in local, regional, and national offices that influence the lives of millions. The pressure that the public applies to judicial professionals, however, is no match to the pressures applied on graduates as they enter the workplace. Thousands of law graduates leave UK universities every spring, with hundreds of applicants vying for the same positions. The standards applied to law graduates applying for entry level clerk positions are high considering the amount of work they do. Law graduates may not be able to control the amount of pressure placed on them but choosing the best graduate job in the UK market means that they can have great success in the future.

Law graduates who want to build a record of socially conscious representation should consider working with non-profit organisations. There are many non-profits that use programmes of pro bono representation for lower income families and prisoners appealing their sentences. As well, environmental organizations and lobbying groups are often on the lookout for talented law graduates. These positions feature low pay initially and long hours but law clerks and other legal graduates often find the work more rewarding than employment at a larger firm.

Graduates who want a more stable position in law should consider employment with a government agency. Government agencies and committees throughout the United Kingdom need talented law graduates to fill clerk positions and administrative roles. These positions usually require a lot of research and report writing, as law clerks are expected to provide representation to the government on a variety of legal issues. The wages and benefits for government work are fair but the ultimate reward is the prestige that a law graduate receives from a government job. These positions can open up doors in the future for advancement in government services or positions with a private firm.

Finally, the rise of the Internet and the issues of copyright infringement that have come up due to music and video sharing has opened up many positions with law firms who deal with these issues. Legal graduates with knowledge of national laws regarding copyrights, patents, and other informational issues have a bright future. The Internet is not about to slow down and neither are issues of infringement, plagiarism, and questionable ethics with intellectual property. Copyright law positions are usually lucrative, which is a nod to the high costs paid by music companies and artists to protect their craft.

    Where does the corporate culture lie between these extremes: autocratic top-down decision making vs empowered employees given free reign to pursue creative approaches to given tasks.

    In some places employees who point out inherent weaknesses in corporate policy are viewed as whistle-blowing troublemakers: at other places the very same people are thanked for pointing out opportunities for improvement. Where do you see this organization?

    I have seen companies that count years of service as the primary factor in deciding who to promote. I have seen others where a young person right out of college who has good mastery of analytical software become far more efficient and therefore, more likely to be promoted despite their young age. At this company, who would be more likely to be promoted?

    In these three examples, the quick answer you give is irrelevant, because everyone knows what you're "supposed" to say. The real answer will come in the quality and depth of examples you give, and how passionately you convey the answers. The candidates will be able to smell if you are making up answers just to get them to sign on.
