Hi! My name is Kenza and I’m an aspiring barrister. I've just completed the LLB and started the BVS at City, University of London.

Hi I'm Phil, otherwise known as The Neurodivergent Lawyer. I am an aspiring lawyer qualifying via CILEX, and an autism and neurodiversity advocate. I'll be sharing my experiences of life as a paralegal and qualifying via an alternative route to the training contract, things that I think are worth knowing at the junior stage, as well as promoting greater acceptance, understanding, empowerment and inclusion of autistic and neurodivergent lawyers at all career stages. I hope that whoever you are you can take something away from my blogs here!

Now studying my LPC at the University of Law in Manchester, I've made the transition from studying English literature at undergraduate level to now being intrigued and excited by the legal world. Last year I completed my MA Law (Conversion) course, and completed a project on copyright laws following Brexit. I'm a future trainee solicitor at a firm in London, and I'm eager to use my knowledge of the law in practice.
Hello, I’m Demi, or alternatively known as 'The Abled Lawyer' on Instagram. I am currently studying the LPC/LLM part-time at BPP University, Birmingham. I work as a diversity assistant at Freeths LLP. I am also a committee member of the Lawyers with Disabilities Division of The Law Society of England and Wales in my spare time. By documenting my journey as a disabled student, this blog aims to raise awareness of disabilities in the legal profession and give practical advice to disabled aspiring solicitors, which I wish I had received at the beginning of my career. Finally, I have interests in employment law and technology law, so my blogs may also touch upon these subjects too. Enjoy!

Looking forward to receiving your opinions on my blogs!
