Why read it?
1 author picked Talking Law as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
In one respect, entry into the UK legal profession was more accessible when I qualified in the 1970s than it is today. Back in the seventies, my legal training was grant-funded.

Barrister Penni’s book contains inspirational first-hand accounts from women, from many backgrounds, who have overcome challenges to forge successful legal careers.
From V.'s list on becoming a lawyer in the UK.
