School Visits

 

A number of lawyers have chosen to visit their nominated school for a Q&A session with pupils.

 

The visits provide youngsters with an insight into the legal system and allow them to ask questions about the type of work lawyers do.  One aim of this is to help youngsters become less inhibited by lawyers when they are older.

 

Participating lawyers are not required to prepare a talk but instead respond to questions which are general in nature rather than on specific points of law.

 

Typically, the lawyer meets a class of pupils and in secondary schools may follow this with a relaxed chat over coffee with a few senior students who are considering a law course at university.
