The next event is taking place on 2nd December 2013 -
Who should attend
- This event is for anyone with concerns that their potential to develop an exciting and rewarding career in law might be compromised by the fact that they have a disability or long term health conditions – visible or otherwise. Equally, you may be concerned that the kind of long hours, pressures and travel we typically associate with life at a top law firm, may present a barrier.
- OPEN is targeted at first, second and final year students who are studying law or non-law degree subjects. You may be interested in a vacation scheme/internship or a training contract in commercial law and want to find out more. Alternatively, you may not think that commercial law is for you, but are prepared to keep an open mind.
- In addition to telling you more about careers in the legal sector, this event also aims to address the issue of managing your disability in the workplace. One of the key objectives of OPEN is to take an honest look at the issue of discussing your disability with a future employer. The event will explore the responsibilities of both employer and employee to ensure that any necessary adjustments are put in place.
Academic requirements
- A career in law is intellectually challenging. You need a strong academic background to succeed, and the determination to undertake demanding training. If you are to attend, you should have achieved good grades at A-level (300+ UCAS points) and either be studying or have studied up to degree level. Places are limited at the event. We will be looking for, but not exclusively screening on: academics, extra curricular activities, work experience and motivation to apply. Of course we will take any mitigating circumstances you may provide into account.
