There are non-lawyer opportunities throughout the civil service, some particularly appropriate to those with legal training. The Home and Foreign offices, the Lord Chancellor's Department and the Houses of Parliament themselves have opportunities for lawyers. The Inland Revenue employs tax inspectors and those with an ability to understand the intricacies of tax law would be especially appropriate for such jobs. The Customs & Excise Office and the Immigration Service might also be receptive to approaches from those with legal training.
