Hey everyone, I’m going through a bit of a family situation right now, and with all the legal talk flying around, I’m getting confused. There’s talk of family court and criminal court, but what’s the difference? Is it like a fight where someone goes to jail, or something more focused on finding solutions? Does family court deal with crimes, or is it more about resolving family disputes like divorce or child custody?
lets check the difference, judges often encourage mediation or settlements to reach agreements. In contrast, criminal court is more adversarial, focusing on presenting evidence and adhering to strict legal procedures.
Right now, it’s too early to decide on a specific career path. What you should focus on is learning the basics of law and how it works in practice.
Try to get an internship or a job at a law firm that could lead to a paralegal position. This will help you understand how things actually function in the legal field.
You have to study Criminal Law for your Priestley 11 exams, but in your third year or later, try to take Family Law. This will show you the flaws in the system and the types of cases it handles. After that, you can think more about what you want to do.
For now, focus on improving your chances of getting a job after graduation. Get involved in the Law Society and take on a role if possible. Participate in mooting competitions and take advantage of every opportunity you’re offered. Apply for internships and paralegal positions until you find one that suits you
