Pathways to Law
The Pathways to Law programme was set
up with support from major law firms, to inspire and support academically-able
students in year 12 and 13 from non-privileged backgrounds interested in a
career in law.
The Pathways scheme delivers a full
and varied programme of lectures, seminars, advice and guidance sessions,
skills development workshops and interaction with undergraduate students and
professionals through e-mentoring and a legal work placement.
The programme is targeted at 17 and
18 year-olds in Years 12 and 13 whose parents have not been to university or
who have been eligible for free school meals. Preference is given to those in
lower performing schools and poorer areas.
Pathways to Law is currently run
through a network of universities across the UK including Manchester
University, Nottingham Trent University and the University of Leeds, also with support from over 30 law firms.
