A striking barrister says she earned £7,000 MORE a year as a coffee barista than she does now. Criminal defence barrister, Rosalind Burgin, 28, says she netted around £10,000 in her first year working as a junior.
But while working full-time as a coffee barista she earned around £7,000 more annually - and said it was much more reliable work. Rosalind admits first year earnings tend to be lower, but "you still need to be able to live" - and claims she's taking home less than minimum wage.
The lawyer from Manchester is speaking out ahead of the September 5 strike over legal aid rates. It is expected the majority of crown court cases across the country will be adjourned.

She said the thought of her client's suffering is "gut-wrenching" but she feels she has no choice but to strike, because her job security is at an all-time low. Rosalind explained: "I love working in criminal defence, and it's heart-breaking that we have to do this, but there are no options left now.
"It's not just about the pay, the work is really unsecure as well. I've been in tough situations before, but I've never had as little job security as I do now."
Rosalind worked in a number of different coffee shops before starting work as a defence barrister, and says she felt more secure throughout. "At least working at a coffee shop you knew what you were getting and it was secure," she said.
"I knew I would get paid for 10 hours work, whereas now I don’t know how much I’ll get for 10 hours." Rosalind says she is still waiting on payments for cases which finished in September last year.
