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 Programme offers a varied programme of lectures, seminars, advice and guidance sessions, skills development workshops, also 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.
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.
