Gabrielle
Turnquest, from Windermere, has demonstrated superior academic prowess to
become the youngest person to qualify as a barrister in the U.K.
She
was called to the Bar of England and Wales after passing her exams with flying
colors at just 18.
What
makes this achievement even more extraordinary is that the average lawyer
undertakes the notoriously rigorous Bar Professional Training Course when they
are 27, according to The University of Law records.
“I
am honored to be the youngest person to pass the Bar exams but, really, I was
not aware at the time what the average age was,” the 18-year-old said in an
interview with the Telegraph “I didn’t fully realize the impact of it.”
The
high-flying teen, who aspires to be a fashion law specialist, took the course
at the University of Law, along with her older sister Kandi, who also passed
the exams at the age of 22.
