Find out about the Shoosmiths /University of Northampton Student Link Scheme.


Are you a LLB or Joint Honours Law student?
Are you interested in a legal career?
Are you undecided about whether a legal career is for you?

If so, the Shoosmiths /University of Northampton Student Link Scheme could be for you.

The objectives of the scheme are to link a law student with an employee of Shoosmiths.  The Shoosmiths employee could be a solicitor, paralegal, trainee solicitor or indeed any employee of Shoosmiths who knows how a large firm works and who has chosen a career in law.

A student will be ‘linked’ to a Shoosmiths employee and this will:

Enable a student to gain an insight into and understanding of the structure, workings and variety of positions and jobs within a large law firm and how  they ‘fit together'

Enable a student to assess their ambition to enter the legal profession against the reality of the world of work within a law firm

Enable the Shoosmiths employee to provide advice and guidance to the student in respect of future career options in the legal profession

There are only 13 places on the scheme.  Follow the link to read more about how the scheme operates and for details of how to apply.  The deadline for applications is Friday 6 December 2013 at 5pm.  Successful applicants will be notified by Friday 13 December 2013.
