We are pleased to be running our Virtual Summer School again this year. This programme offers students interested in studying law the opportunity to learn more about the subject and ask questions about legal careers.
This year, rather than running the Summer School over four consecutive days, sessions will take place across four mornings over two separate weeks:
Students can register their interest by emailing careers@lawscot.org.uk. We will then circulate an MS Form for formal registration. Once registered, participants will receive two Zoom links: one for the sessions on 8 and 9 June, and another for 18 and 19 June.
What we’ll cover
Our programme is currently being finalised, but the first session, Introduction to Law and University Applications, will be of particular interest to your students. We’ll cover UCAS applications, SAAS, and more!
The other days will have a focus on what is happening now in the legal profession, taking students on a career journey exploring the unexpected and interesting areas you can practice law in Scotland.
Logistics
If multiple students from your institution are participating, we have found in previous years that reserving a classroom or suitable shared space is helpful. This supports accessibility (whether joining via a shared device or interactive screen) and allows students to take part in breakout discussions together.
I will be hosting a CV, job application & interview support drop in session on Wednesday 15th April, 1PM-3PM in the Partner Room. If you can not attend this session but would like support, please email me at gw23linningclaireest@glow.sch.uk to arrange an appointment.
***Please remember to sign in at main office on arrival***
