Criminal barrister Carley Green works at the Crown Prosecution Service and she’s just 24 years old! While studying she had to work a few part time jobs – including at a boot repair shop and at Leeds United football ground – but she think those experiences have made her an even better barrister now she’s qualified. Carley also explains the difference between the employed and self-employed bar, what being a prosecuting barrister at the CPS entails and why she doesn’t let her age stand in the way of her ambitions.
