Disabled solicitor support group proposed

A trainee solicitor is looking for interest in forming a group to support disabled solicitors and disabled students wishing to practise law in Scotland.

Fraser Mackay, who has dyspraxia, has overcome his disability to achieve a philosophy and English degree and then his LLB, but has found no equivalent in Scotland to the England based Aspiring Solicitors, which provides support in order to increase diversity in the profession, or the Diversity Access Scheme, a scholarship programme.

Anyone interested, or who has had a similar experience, has information to share, or would like to volunteer support in any form, should contact frasermackaylaw@gmail.com
