Mentoring for students
Interested in a career in the legal profession and want to learn more about how to progress? We are a team of mentors ready to encourage, support and motivate you to take the best steps to help you on your journey.
Our volunteer mentors are professionals who are qualified legal practitioners. You will have the opportunity of being mentored by a solicitor, a barrister, a legal executive or a paralegal. We also have trainee legal apprentices who can advise students interested in the legal apprenticeship route.
You can apply to be a mentee if you are aged 16- 19years old and are in 6th form at school or college. You must be enthusiastic about law and ready to commit to at least 2 hours a month with your mentor (for 3 months).
My mentor has helped me the most in my legal journey so far, as I originally did not intend to pursue law but upon having mentoring sessions with them they have never pressured me into law. Rather they have encouraged me to pursue my other interests before trying to become a barrister.
The mentoring sessions have truly been inspiring as often I felt pressured to do an LLB course rather than to pursue politics. Not only that, my mentor has supported me to present myself as a well rounded individual. -Akleema Year 2 Law A level student
My mentor has helped me quite a lot as I do not know anybody who has pursued law to be able to gain an insight into it, but through them I have been able to learn the expectations of advocacy and how busy yet interesting their week can be. Moreover, my mentor has never made an effort to sugarcoat how demanding it can be to pursue a legal career and this has made me all the more eager, especially after hearing their journey when becoming a barrister!
