The Ropewalk

We are committed to promoting wider access to the legal profession and to the Bar in particular. We aim to encourage young people to consider the law as a possible career for them when they might otherwise not do so. We take part in work placement schemes organised by the Social Mobility Foundation and Pathways to Law, which give A-level students the opportunity to spend time with working barristers and enables them to make informed decisions about a career at the Bar. We participate in the Speakers for Schools programme, where we provide careers talks to local students. We also work with the Career Academy in Law at a Lincolnshire College, providing talks on a career at the Bar, mentoring a student and offering a work placement. Our barristers also attend various Law Schools in the Midlands to meet students and provide information and guidance on the Bar.
