The Law Society of Northern Ireland Has met with the QUB Diversity in Law Society for a discussion with students on access to the profession.
The discussion explored some of the barriers individuals may face when pursuing a career in law, alongside the wide range of opportunities available to aspiring solicitors, from high street practices to larger commercial and corporate firms.
A spokesperson for the Law Society said: “We look forward to continuing to work together to build a more diverse and inclusive profession.”
QUB Diversity in Law Society said: “It was really valuable to have the opportunity to meet with representatives from the Law Society of Northern Ireland and discuss some of the barriers students can face when pursuing a career in law.
“Thank you to the Law Society of Northern Ireland for taking the time to meet with us. We look forward to continuing the conversation and working together to make the legal profession more accessible.”
Formed just last year the Diversity in Law Society has grown from an idea to address a gap in diversity-focused support within the Law School at QUB to engaging more than 200 students.
The Diversity in Law Society were winners of the Best New Club or Society at the Queens Student Union Awards.
