The Race Fairness Commitment has been adopted by 17 top law firms in partnership with Rare Recruitment as part of their long-term strategies to help recruit, retain and develop black, Asian and minority ethnic talent within the legal profession.

This blog was originally going to discuss the ins and outs of starting a law society – the things that you should know before starting, what the experience is really like, and the sorts of benefits to be gained. But, as I wrote, I realised that starting a law society is a rare thing. At universities, these are typically already well-established, and the odds of you being the first to incept the idea is unlikely. I instead have chosen to talk more broadly about leadership and taking on positions of responsibility as an aspiring lawyer. This will include tips for starting a society or being part of an executive committee but will also apply to non-academic life. 

For this blog post, I thought I would look at some of my role models in the industry right now.
