You will experience the real-life work of a lawyer, with opportunities to argue a human rights case before a judge*, handle a murder case from start to finish under the guidance of senior barristers, and attend an interactive session with a group of corporate lawyers.

You will also have the opportunity to network with our lawyers and ask them all your burning questions, just as you would in-person.
