Passing the bar and holding a first degree in legal studies from a great school has stopped being an automatic ticket to finding a dream job with any reputable law firm in the country today. The reason for this is simple; law firms tend to keep existing staff on long-term coaching contracts while leaving little or no room for aspiring practitioners, as vacancies are easily filled up, with very qualified learned colleagues. This leaves us with the only option of exploring new opportunities. And with that comes the need to consider doing a Master of Laws.
