Samenvatting:

Nearly half of 2013’s law graduates were unemployed or underemployed, and, as 80% of students attending law school rely on student loans to finance their education, students are graduating with massive amounts of debt. This rising problem has caused prelaw students to question: Is law school a good investment? Barrister on a Budget explains to the reader that for some it is a bad investment. For the others, they just have to be more strategic and financially responsible than those who came before them, while providing them with the tools to do so. A potential law student will now have the right questions to ask regarding their investment; inexpensive steps to use when making career decisions; and realize potential financial consequences in order to prevent budget-breaking surprises. All of the costs a student should be aware of upfront in order to create a thorough budget are laid out, curtailing loan obligations and expenses before graduation. Barrister on a Budget is the key to helping law students graduate with minimal debt and maximum opportunities!
