Law Summer Schools

With sessions led by law graduates and corporate lawyers, and guest lectures from practising barristers, you’ll be learning from those with a wealth of academic and professional experience. Whichever area of law you’re interested in, we have a specialist to teach it, so you’ll always get the most precise and up-to-date insights.

From the practical skills used by lawyers (like reviewing evidence and putting together a case) to core competencies like critical thinking, teamwork and argumentation, our law summer schools equip with you the skillset needed to excel in law. You’ll even receive public speaking coaching from working barristers – perfect for learning to hold a jury’s attention and argue your case.

You’ll learn in a mixture of seminars, workshops and mock trials – providing a 360-degree grounding in the fundamentals of law studies and careers.

Experience the working life of a lawyer on exclusive site visits. Our law summer school includes a visit to the UK’s Supreme Court, where you’ll take part in a mock trial with a real barrister acting as the judge. You’ll also meet corporate lawyers from some of London’s top firms and get coaching on mergers and acquisitions.

With exclusive networking sessions with law students and professionals, you’ll have the chance to gain valuable insights into what it takes to make it as a lawyer – and also to pick up some excellent contacts.

Our course also offers the chance to practise key interview and assessment centre skills, and complete an assessment like those used by recruiters at top law firms – with personalised feedback on your performance.

Plus, by taking part in our law summer schools, you’ll demonstrate commitment to a career in law and gain some vital skills – all things which will help you impress in a law school application.
