Pathways to Law Digital Conference – 24th – 28th July 2020

During the last week of July, we welcomed approximately 270 students from across the country to the Pathways to Law Digital Conference, hosted by the Sutton Trust using their unique online platform. During the conference, students had the chance to find out about university life, experience online academic lectures and meet with lots of legal professionals. This conference gave students the opportunity to find out what it is like to study law at university and whether a career in law is right for them. Throughout the week, there were 207 volunteers from the legal profession, across 56 firms, chambers or courts. In total this amounted to over 300 hours of volunteering from industry professionals. The online platform also had 113 pieces of employer created content and content created by our student ambassadors. Built into the platform, there was also a speed mentoring platform where students were able to speak to student ambassadors, staff across 13 universities and industry professionals. Despite not being able to hold a face to face conference, the level of engagement and enthusiasm was fantastic throughout the week. At the celebration event, it was clear how valuable and beneficial students had found the opportunity and it was clear to see how they had grown in confidence compared to the start of the week!
