The Barristers, part 3 - 4of6

This 4-part documentary from 2008 follows the progress of 4 law students on the thorny path to become fully-fledged barristers, as well as giving a glimpse into the work of already established barristers.
Barristers are a legal profession with a long tradition in the judicial system of England and Wales. Until fairly recently most barristers were often not directly contacted by clients but by solicitors on behalf of clients. But as some things in the profession this is slowly changing.

The barristers speaking about the competitive nature of the bar - "not knowing where your next brief is coming from" - implies that all barristers must be good to survive - I challenge him to find a single defence solicitor or CPS person to agree with him.
