What kind of degree does a barrister need?

To become a barrister, one typically needs a law degree (LLB) or a non-law degree followed by a Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL). After obtaining the necessary academic qualifications, aspiring barristers must complete the Bar Course, which includes practical training and skills development. Finally, they must undertake a period of pupillage, which is a form of apprenticeship in a barrister's chambers, before being fully qualified to practice.
