Applications are open for social welfare law training contracts through TLEF
updated on 18 August 2015
The application process for seven social welfare law training contracts, organised through The Legal Education Foundation (TLEF) is currently in full swing.
The training contracts have been available through TLEF's Justice First Fellowship Scheme, which grants host law firms and other organisations an average of £75,000 to train LPC (or equivalent) graduates over a two-year period. The programme's objective is to train lawyers to provide advice to vulnerable people in the areas of housing, welfare benefits, disability, immigration, domestic abuse and child welfare.
The host organisations are:
- Shelter;
- Avon & Bristol Law Centre;
- Ben Hoare Bell LLP;
- Child Action Poverty Group;
- Greenwich Housing Rights;
- Legal Services Agency; and
- Law Centre (Northern Ireland).
Applications are open until 15 September. You can apply through TLEF's website.
