2021 Law student events and careers talks

17th September 2021 | New lawyers

We're running a range of careers talks and events over the coming weeks for university students, with the aim of helping you on your way to becoming a solicitor.

Whether you're a first year student or starting the Diploma, thinking about your next steps is always beneficial to your law journey and we're running virtual events with many of the Scottish LLB and Diploma providers.

However, if you can't see a live event listed for your university, we will be distributing a recording of our sessions after the event, so that you don’t miss out. We look forward to seeing you there!
