Our students recently got the chance to debate the hot topic of diversity in legal careers with a panel of the region’s top professionals.
As part of the busy schedule of weekly careers events on offer, our law students seized the opportunity to attend a panel debate on the important topic of diversity and widening participation in the legal profession. Panel members included the Midlands Chair of the Black Solicitors Network, the founder of Aspiring Solicitors and the Head of Education at SGH Martineau LLP.
Third-year LLB (Hons) Law student Randle Brooks wrote a blog about the event and said: “It was particularly reassuring to see such enthusiasm from established legal professionals for creating greater equality within the profession and hopefully the current Birmingham City University students will contribute to the new generation of lawyers with similar enthusiasm.”
