Most law students believe the legal profession will be resistant to change during their careers, according to research that suggests the next generation of lawyers may be significantly more conservative than many commentators are predicting.
The research, which was undertaken by Legal Week Intelligence in association with Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP), found 64% of the respondents arguing that the legal profession would only change “slightly” during their careers with just under a third of the sample (31%) taking the opposite view and claiming it would be “unrecognisable” by the time they retire.
