For many students, the solicitor pathway can feel confusing.

Questions about FE1s, training contracts, Blackhall Place, applications and qualification timelines often leave students unsure about what steps they should be taking and when.

This session is designed to give students a practical and honest insight into the solicitor profession and the qualification process.

Whether you’re just starting to consider a career as a solicitor or you’re already sitting FE1s, the aim is to help you better understand the pathway ahead and learn from someone who has recently gone through it themselves.

Students will have the opportunity to ask questions throughout the session and gain practical advice on navigating the journey from university to qualification.
