American is Youngest Person in 600 Years to be Called to the UK Bar at the age of 18

It looks like the first thing I read was way off. After reading a couple of more articles, I see that a barrister is nothing like a paralegal.

Lol I certainly had to read the article couple of times myself to make any sense from it.

The legal system in England is difficult to understand at the best of times, even for a native; I only "get it" due to looking at the Lawyer road myself, but the whole US/UK thing is a complete nightmare to manoeuvre.

Still, if you're looking at working in England and find the L.L.B. daunting (like most people, including myself), I see a "fast track" here ... i.e. using a "test out" degree from a regionally accredited college in the USA and then doing the GDL before choosing your legal pathway Solicitor/Barrister.

This pathway to becoming an English Lawyer would be VERY attractive to a lot of people on this little island
