Pathways to Law is an initiative for state school students who are interested in a legal career and will be first-generation attendees at university.
Established by The University of Law and the Sutton Trust, the programme targets students from under-represented backgrounds and provides support throughout years 12, 13 and during university.
Sponsors include A&O, Clifford Chance, Linklaters, Eversheds, DLA Piper, Hogan Lovells, Mayer Brown, and Simmons & Simmons.
A number of prestigious universities are also partners of the scheme; including:
- Cardiff University
- University of Exeter
- University of Leeds
- University of Leicester
- University of Liverpool
- University of Manchester
- University of Newcastle
- University of Oxford
- LSE
- QMUL
- University of Warwick
It is the universities that undertake the recruitment and selection of participants. Those selected are expected to fully commit to the two-year long programme, which includes debating sessions delivered by university lecturers, skills workshops with RSC actors and e-mentoring from current university students.
Application and eligibility information are all available on the website.
