Law degree = 3/4 years

Fe 1s = 8 exams, will take at least a year on average, more likely 1.5 years.

apprenticeship = 2 years.

So thats at very least 6 years, but with the way things are now, its taking people a decent few goes to pass the fe1s, then nobody can find an apprenticeship so whatever time that delay is you can add that on too.
