Sadly, we are all forced to make choices about our life before we are equipped with the knowledge or experience to make those choices.
I think you've got solicitor and barrister a bit confused (ignoring solicitor advocates for now).
Lawyers interpret, represent and manipulate statute, caselaw and the "facts" for their clients. Both caselaw and statute are freely published, and the case law is far more fruity.
You might wish to start reading some of the case law and transcripts. Bailli is a fair start but can be dry.
Autobiography of some of the greats can be more fun. Michael Mansfield's auto is good, but he does become an arrogant arse regularly.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rule-Law-Tom-Bingham/dp/014103453X is certainly regularly recommended is and it's also quite cheap.
Anyone can learn the law. Few can "make use of" the facts to establish a winning case. Concentrate on getting acquainted with the world and how it really works for that insight.
Travel and being among their peoples will help enormously - why people put themselves in situations (forming a business, falsely accused of a crime, protecting something of "value" against the state and other people).
Hi there, first class law grad here (currently working in a firm, starting barrister course in September if you're interested!)
So the main statutes that spring to mind are:
Police and Criminal Evidence Act
Coroners and Justice Act
Offences Against the Person Act
Criminal Justice Act
A good statute book that students tend to use is Blackstones, this has most of the main statues for undergraduate level. If you really want to look at the finer points of criminal procedure, then Archbold is where it's at.

Learning Legal Rules was always the book which we were advised to read ahead of a law degree:

Don't bother paying through the nose for the latest edition.
