Aspiring Black Lawyers

Hi everyone, we are only 5 days away from our first event of the year 'Sessions with the professionals on equal access to the legal sector for all'. Remember to register at eventbrite.co.uk/e/equal-access… to join the event! See you all soon😊

This will be a session of conversations where we delve into the legal sector and the evolution of diversity within it. We will discuss legal schemes and routes for students of black heritage to break into the legal sector and the organisations providing them.

What are the opportunities available to me? How do I get into the Firms or the Chambers? What is the current status quo on diversity in the legal sector? These will be some of the questions and more that we will be discussing.

We are ready to take on the new year with an upcoming event: 'Sessions with the professionals on equal access to the legal sector for all'. To join please register below: eventbrite.co.uk/e/equal-access…
