One Profession, Many Journeys campaign

Designed to appeal to young people considering their career choices after school, we hope that it will inspire students to consider a career as a solicitor, and in particular to inspire students who may have thought they did not have the “right” background for a career as a solicitor.

This features 5 solicitors at various stages of their careers, and from a variety of backgrounds. Each one is featured on an image setting out where they were as a young person and where they are now, and there is a longer piece on our website setting out their journey which you can link to here: https://www.lawscot.org.uk/qualifying-and-education/our-work-with-schools/one-profession-many-journeys/
