So I was thinking that day, in medicine degree classification and which school you come from doesn’t matter. Once you’re a doctor, you’re supposed to save lives.

If you think degree classification and what school you come from for law is something that has been “invented” only now to deal with glut and what not, you’re wrong.
Remember, back in the good ol days, being an Oxbridge lawyer will get you access to many opportunities and privileges. It isn’t different today.

Granted, you can practice with 2:2, but take a look at all the top men and women in the legal profession. It’s always a fch, or an Oxbridge, or for some posts being valedictorian. Like AG, CJ etc

I take umbrage at your second sentence. You are attacking a straw man. No one in their right mind actually thinks degree classification and school was invented to deal with the glut of lawyers.

All this worship for Oxbridge is mind boggling and quite hilarious.

In America, Oxbridge is a tier B law school at best. Along the likes of Columbia, Chicago and NYU. It gets blown out of the water by the holy trinity of Harvard, Yale and Stanford.

Only in sinkieland where the best local university is NUS (lol!!!) is Oxbridge seen as some kind of godly accomplishment. Try bringing your precious Oxbridge llb to where it really matters - White shoe firms on Wall Street. You'd get laughed out of the office

Corp is also not that lucrative.
After covid, many companies would realise that they can just do a lot of the corporate lawyering jobs in house.
Eventually things like registration of charges etc, I suspect these can be done in house too. Regulators will look at how to automate it with Corppass etc.
Now we have liability and quantum calculators for motor accident and personal injury.
Everything will eventually be automated, work processes improved further.
Increasingly it will become hard to earn a lot. With inflation and salary stagnated, this problem is exacerbated further

By extension of this logic, wouldn't in-house counsel roles STRAIGHT out of law school be the more sensible option in that case?

Putting the obvious 20-30% cut in salary aside, wont doing that put oneself in greater stead to last longer in the legal industry as compared to joining private practice from the get go?

Would any proper in house roles take you in without any law firm experience???

I take umbrage. I am from Oxford. Please get over your obsession with Tier 2 like Cambridge and NUS and KCL. Suits had a Cambridge guy with big ears make a cameo and he totally got whipped by Louis Litt. Just saying. So we are to be worshipped.

I am sure my knowledge of jurisprudence shall dominate any US office.
