If you are a pupil thinking about a career in the legal profession, we would recommend that you find out as much as you can about studying law and what is involved in becoming a solicitor.
You can find out the route to qualifying as a solicitor in our qualifying and education section. Once you start thinking about university, you will also need to find out more about the LLB (degree in law), the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice and the traineeship.
Find out more about our award-winning legal education programme, whereby university law students deliver highly interactive law lessons to school pupils.
This year, our annual schools debating tournament will see 64 teams from across Scotland enter the first round, with just one team crowned the winner at the grand final.
We run Legal Studies & Careers events annually across Scotland which any school pupil is invited to attend. We also can represent the legal profession at your local careers fair.
A lack of identifiable role models can discourage young people in their career choices, so we launched a campaign which features a number of our colleagues from diverse backgrounds and experiences, sharing their unique journey to becoming a solicitor and why they chose that career path.
