Description

Did you know that you don’t have to go to university to become a lawyer? Some 17,000 people have been trained to become chartered legal executives (CILEX lawyers) who are fully qualified legal professionals. 

Alma-Constance and Lucinda spoke  to Emma Davies the CILEX President who tells us about:

• The different schemes to train as a paralegal, legal executive or apprentice for those who want to specialise in a particular area  of law.
• The flexible studying opportunities  whilst working in an organisation.
• Some of the case studies of people from all different educational backgrounds.
• Some of the types of cases that involve children such as  family law, criminal law, personal injury etc.
• Her motivation to become a lawyer and role as president of CILEX. 

When Emma was 10 she loved playing the clarinet and saxophone reached grade eight and played in the Exeter Children’s orchestrator and knew she wanted to help people and make a difference.

Written, edited and produced by Lucinda Acland.
