How Will You Have A Brush With The Law?

Image
Okay, well I don’t want to alarm you here – but everybody interacts with the law at some point in their lives. I’m not saying that you will be arrested for public intoxication or some other common offence, but you will most likely have an interaction in a variety of other non-criminal ways. We’re governed by laws – and we need to have them for obvious reasons. But there are some occasions that occur in life that mean you have to get some kind of legal service.

For aspiring journalists, the headquarters of the major tabloids such as The Times and The Guardian and international magazines like Vogue, Esquire and Elle - all house their ideal job. London is the hub for any wannabe Stockbroker and for lawyers, graphic designers, accountants and re
