From Law School to Legal Practice.…

The jump from studying law to actually practising it can feel like a huge leap — but it doesn't have to. This event bridges the gap between the classroom and the profession, giving you an honest, practical look at what life as a lawyer or barrister really looks like once you've graduated.

There's so much that a law degree simply doesn't cover: the culture inside a firm or chambers, the unwritten rules of the profession, what different practice areas feel like day to day, and what recruiters are genuinely looking for beyond your academic results. This event exists to fill those gaps. Our speakers have been in your position — sitting in lectures, wondering what comes next — and they're here to tell you exactly what they wish someone had told them.

You'll hear about different routes into the law, whether that's a training contract at a firm, the Bar, a legal apprenticeship, or a less conventional path. No single journey looks the same, and that's precisely the point.

This is your chance to ask the questions that don't always get answered in lectures, rseminars or careers fairs. What does a typical week actually look like? How do you handle pressure and rejection? How do you find your footing when you're just starting out?

Whether you're in your first year or your last, this is the conversation you didn't know you needed — and the one that could change everything.
