How to apply

Apply, using the application form below.

When you apply, you can pick one of the sessions detailed above.

You will need to submit your CV and provide an answer to the following question:

Why did you choose to study law?

The reason why we ask you to do this, is this is a very standard question that all law firms will ask you during any application process.

Your answer will likely be used in every interview you go to in your early career.

We want you to have a really good think about your answer and we will provide feedback on it whichever session you apply for. So make it authentic and genuine as to why you're pursuing law as a career.
