'Careers in Law' Insight Day

Whether a student’s ambition is to defend individuals in court, provide hands-on commercial legal advice to blue chip companies or protect a person’s basic human rights, our ‘Careers in Law’ Insight Day will provide all the information necessary to take those first exciting steps.

Designed especially to be delivered in-house at schools, the day is created and delivered by experienced lawyers. It provides Year 9-12 students with a broad overview of the various careers falling under the umbrella of law, before focusing more particularly on how to become a solicitor, barrister or chartered legal executive.

If you are a teacher interested in booking a ‘Careers in Law’ Insight Day for your school, please get in touch.

Why do a ‘Careers in Law’ Insight Day?

The overarching aim of our Insight Day is to positively engage students in a relaxed environment, where they will feel confident to ask questions and take part in fun and interactive law-related activities.

It is aimed at Year 9 to 12 students who are:

• Thinking about studying law at university;
• Thinking about embarking on a legal apprenticeship; or
• Simply wondering what a career in law entails.

By the end of the day, students will be in a solid position to decide whether law is right for them and what’s required to get started and get ahead.

What does a ‘Careers in Law’ Insight Day Involve?

The event is led by an experienced lawyer and legal educator with many years of experience and covers all aspects of:

• Grassroots legal study;
• Getting ahead by securing relevant work experience;
• A-Level choices to study law
• The newly launched legal apprenticeship scheme;
• Applying to study law at university;
• Postgraduate legal study; and
• The practical legal training required to qualify as either a barrister, solicitor or chartered legal executive.

A mock negotiation will round off the day. This is designed to encourage teamwork, communication, compromise, strategical thinking and decision making, giving students a true flavour of what they will encounter in everyday legal practice, as well as the types of skills they will be expected to employ as fully fledged lawyers.
