How can lawyers help to address climate change through their work?

The Bar Standards Board has appointed five new lay board members. This means that from January 2012, lay members will outnumber barrister members for the first time since the BSB’s inception in 2006.

A number of firms' work placement schemes have been shortlisted for the annual National Council for Work Experience Awards.

No matter what stage you’re at in your legal education, you’re bound to gain something from LawCareersNetLIVE. Read on to discover some of the benefits of attending this legal careers conference.

Linklaters has launched a tailored training contract for Mandarin speakers whereby candidates are trained in London before moving to practise in China upon qualification.

Big changes are sweeping the legal profession - not least to the ways in which you can become part of it and how you will be trained once you get there.

It’s worth mentioning that a legal career is competitive and expensive.

Networking is one of the most important things that you’ll do as a law student or aspiring lawyer. People will tell you that it's important to attend as many legal events as possible but won’t tell you how you can put your best self out there at these events.
