In keeping with the Society’s desire to be inclusive and encourage entry to the profession from all backgrounds, Year 12 students from all schools and colleges across Merseyside have been invited to attend the annual ‘Pathways to the Legal Profession’ event on 1st March 2023. The President of Liverpool Law Society, Jeremy Myers, will chair the event.
A panel of speakers from key institutions across the city will outline the various entry routes into the Law – from the traditional university route to the modern apprenticeship route, and other options in between. There will be speakers from Liverpool John Moores University, the University of Law, the University of Liverpool, CILEx , Isabella Denn-White, a Barrister at 7 Harrington Street Chambers and Weightmans who are speaking and also sponsoring the event.
The feedback received from the students who have attended past events is invariably highly positive. A few of the comments received appear below:
- “It was good for the students to be able to understand the different pathways to be able to practice in the legal profession and the many new ways to train as a solicitor. The students were particularly interested in the apprenticeship route and the chance to earn as they qualify.” said Connor Moss, a teacher from Birkenhead Sixth Form School.
- “What I found interesting was the vast amount of pathways you are able to take. It broadened my views on different routes I may want to further explore” said Tom Richards, a student from Neston High School
- “(I) Learnt more about the different ways into the Law Industry, whether a law degree is required to become a lawyer” said another student.
In 2022 we welcomed a record-breaking 214 pupils and teachers from 26 schools across Merseyside and we anticipate the 2023 event will be just as popular with Merseyside schools and pupils.
