Abstract

The report discusses six options for graduating students, and the choices which students may make. These include taking up a legally related career in the public sector, pursuing a career unrelated to law, going directly to the bar, being admitted and practising law, being admitted and then taking up a career outside law, or not being admitted and taking up or maintaining a career outside law.

By studying undergraduates career intentions, more effective plans may be made for the practical training system.
