来自“局外人”群体（特别是妇女）的律师所经历的职业封闭已被广泛记录在案。工作经验作为进入专业的一个途径，其重要性日益增加，这表明它可能在排斥和专业身份的再生产过程中发挥越来越重要的作用。因此，缺乏对专业再生产中这个“隐藏”时刻的研究，代表了我们对英格兰和威尔士律师职业（变化）的理解中的一个重大空白。本文报告了对法律的工作经验的初步探索。它分析了通过与律师会合作对律师事务所进行调查而产生的数据。对从公司网站和论坛上获得的材料进行定性分析是对这一工作的补充。在整个论文中，我们强调了这个初步分析所提出的更广泛的研究问题。
The occupational closure experienced by solicitors drawn from ‘outsider’ groups (especially women) has been extensively documented. The growing importance of work experience as a gateway to the profession suggests that it may be playing an increasingly significant role in the processes of exclusion and the reproduction of professional identity. The lack of research into this ‘hidden’ moment in professional reproduction therefore represents a significant lacuna in our understanding of the (changing) solicitors’ profession in England and Wales. This paper reports on a preliminary exploration of legal work experience. It analyses data generated through collaboration with the Law Society in a survey of law firms. This is complemented by qualitative analysis of material obtained from firms’ websites and discussion boards. Throughout the paper we highlight the broader research questions suggested by this initial analysis.
