Joke or no joke, i struggle to understand why on earth you would spend time on this thread if you're not interested in pursuing a career as what you seem to describe as a "leech". If you ARE interested in pursuing a career as a solicitor, then I suggest you change your attitude.
You must understand that there are people on this thread who genuinely wish to practice law out of interest, challenge and maybe even passion. A lot of these people are struggling to push forward with their career because of the lack of training contracts being offered in the current climate, and then you come along and refer to their chosen and well respected profession as being that of a "leech". That is rude and ignorant my friend.
