Bewigged and bewildered?: a guide to becoming a barrister in England and Wales. (Third edition.)

Written by two barristers, this volume clearly but informally explains the traditions, terminology and institutions of the Bar, and what it is actually like to be a barrister.

With this aim, several barristers practising in different fields describe in detail a typical week in their life.

Advice is then given on how to be accepted into, fund and survive the various academic and other stages that precede qualification as a barrister, including work experience, Bar School, and pupillage (the barrister's apprenticeship).
