By participating in real legal tasks, interacting with professionals, and engaging in debates, you will gain first-hand experience of what a career in law involves. This insight can help you determine whether law aligns with your interests and strengths.

You will interact with practising solicitors, barristers, and legal academics. There are opportunities for Q&A sessions, career advice, and mentorship to gain insights into different legal pathways.

We recommend that students bring a notepad and pen to take notes (or a device to write on). In addition, students should bring a water bottle for the day.

Please make sure these snacks are NUT FREE to take into account any students that may have nut allergies. Students on certain programmes such as Computer Science, will need to bring their own device. If you have not got a laptop, one will be provided. A specialised list will be communicated nearer to the time.
