How much do lawyers earn?

Question

and how many years of training do they need?

Answer 1

TOO MUCH AND NOT ENOUGH

Answer 2

My sister who is 22 has recently graduated, she has just started work  and earns £32000 a year, after a few years she could easily earn 3 times more than that if not more, makes me wish i has gone to uni aswell lol.

It took her 4 years to graduate but she took the last year again to get a better grade.

Answer 3

It depends of what area of law they are specialised in and what area they live in. The max is probably a matrimonial solicitor earning roughly £150,000  - $300,000.

Answer 4

alot alot alot thousands

Answer 5

CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTYs MAKE THE MOST 1m FIRST YEAR

TRY TO GO IN AS INTERN BEFORE YOU GRADUATE

AND THE FIRST YEAR YOU WILL DO THE 1 M

Answer 6

Shed loads and then some more.  3 Years study to become a qualified newbie.

Then you have licence to print money, be as bent as your clients, but come up smelling of cash.

Answer 7

Firstly you need to do 3 years for an LLB then a year for an LPC then 2 years of training to become a solicitor unlike what the above answer stated as a trainee you can be paid from £12.000 a year to double that if you get into a really decent firm which i might add is very very very hard.

a solicitor in private practise might receive a salary of between £35,000 and £73,000 (depending on location and grade). A solicitor working in central or local government could expect to receive a salary of £33,000 to £48,000 (salary data collected Feb 07, The Law Society).

A barrister will earn alot more and they need to complete a BVC not an LPC but it is harder to become a barrister because there are even less possitions avaible and just as much competition

Answer 8

Potentially you could earn vast sums but this would be after many years at law school which could cost you alot of money anyway.

Lawyers are not very nice people too.
