Conferences for Sixth Form Students
Our sixth form conferences have been organised jointly by The Bar Council and various other organisations depending on location. These events are aimed at bright Year 12 students, who have a genuine interest in becoming a Lawyer and are interested in finding out about a Law Degree and the work of Barristers. We are targeting students from state schools and colleges.
Criteria:
Students must:
- be genuinely interested in studying law at university, or a career in law
- be attending a state school or college
- be in Year 12
- be expected to achieve at least ABB grades at A Level
London: There are no set criteria on the background of students but, if you have more students interested than the number of places you have been allocated, priority should preferably be given to students from a ‘widening participation’ background.
Birmingham, Cardiff, Leeds: This is done on a first come, first serve basis
Conferences in all locations will cover the following areas:
- Studying Law at University
- Pathways into a career as a Barrister
- The working life of a Barrister
- Interesting cases, current issues and developments in Law
- Case studies in Law
- A question & answer session on issues in British, European and International Law
All barristers involved in speaking at the events are practising in England & Wales. To find out who is involved please go to the individual event and see the barrister profiles.
