Want to explore a career in law but don't have a legal degree? Then this How To Series event is made for you.

As someone without a legal degree, firms are keen to know why you are interested in law and working for them. Attending this event will allow you to demonstrate your passion and commitment to this highly competitive but rewarding career. 

Join us on Monday 8th November for this fantastic one-hour event where we will be taking a deep dive into: 

  • The qualifications you need for a career in law and what they all mean 
  • How to successfully apply for vacation schemes, training contracts (and when applications will open)
