How do I become a University Law Lecturer?

My girlfriend is 25, has a Law Degree and passed the Bar course in 2006, but didn't gain pupillage.



She has since been working as a defense Paralegal, with most of her work concentrating on major fraud cases.



She requires approximately 6 months non-contentious work to cross-qualify as a solicitor and is currently trying to find this work.



What other qualifications or experience does she need and how would she attempt to become a University Law Lecturer from her current position?How do I become a University Law Lecturer?
Normally, you need a PhD or any other recognised Doctorate on top of your degree to lecture students at Universities. The principle is that you should be one step higher than the students you're lecturing. So with a PhD you can lecture undergrad as well as Masters students.



If she's keen she should do a PhD. She's still young so she could do it part-time and mature into it. It's normally easier for more mature PhD students.



Good luck!How do I become a University Law Lecturer?
I'm pretty sure if she watches 72 CSI episodes, 142 Boston Legal episodes and 127 Law n Order Episodes, this will qualify her



hope this helped
