After the success of our previous Student Leadership Boards, we are delighted to announce that we're once again looking to collaborate with a group of 4 bright and ambitious students passionate about championing diversity in Law.
By joining the Student Leadership Board, you'll take an elevated role in the run up to the event as well as on the day during the networking to help maximise the benefits of the event for yourself and other members.

- Receive a personal certificate of participation for the Student Leadership Board
- Get a pre-event content pack filled with materials and resources to support your time on the board

In advance

- Support with spreading the word about Bright Network Future Lawyers at your university, societies and posting on social media

- Are motivated and enthusiastic about maximising the event's impact for employers and students
- Are confident to take on a leadership role during the event
- Have successfully applied and received an offer to attend the virtual event
