Virtual Summer School 2024
Each year, we hold a week long summer school programme where students who are interested in studying law can take part and ask questions about legal careers. Students will hear about the route to qualifying as a solicitor in Scotland, hear from qualified solicitors and take part in a legal skills challenge.
For 2024, the programme will be held from Monday 24th June - Thursday 27th June.
This programme is available for S4-S6 secondary school and college pupils who are interested in learning more about law in Scotland. We also welcome attendance from first and second year LLB students. The first day (Mon) is speciaifically targeted at school and college students wanting to apply for the LLB at university. The following days (Tues, Wed & Thurs) will be suitable for all students from S4 to LLB Y2.
The Careers and Outreach team look forward to meeting you at the Virtual Summer School and if you have any specific questions please get in touch with careers@lawscot.org.uk
