You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

It's not thatI've done work experience, I even beat 50 people to get a work experience placement with the CPS that finishes a week before my exams start (Yeah. Argh) . What we're being told is basically 'even if you're good, even if you've done all the work experience you can, unless you can afford £12k, and 3 years unpaid, it's pointless...'

i work in a top 10 city law firmas of this afternoon, i'm on formal consultation for redundancy, along with my entire practice group. a substantial number will be going.
my old firm has told all its trainees there will be no jobs when they qualify.
it fucking sucks. but have you thought (and you probably have, sorry if this is patronising) about applying for a training contract at a law firm that specialises in criminal law? then you could move over to the cps and retrain as a barrister when times improve?
