I'd be more than happy to hear any stories that negate this concern if anyone has any? Would this be in the same context as a suburban lawyer attempting to make a transition to a city law firm position? |
I imagine it'd be difficult because you'd only gain experience in very limited areas i.e. succession and family law. Then again, considering that's generally what undergraduates in city firms deal with for their first few years, I don't think it'd hurt you if you decided to spend your time in the bush for a few years.
Actually, talking about "odd" graduate choices, after doing an internship with a barrister who had a senior position in the army, I'm tossing up whether I should join the army or navy after graduating (and get my final year subsidised to boot), just for the experience.
