We have specifically designed the Programme to promote and increase equality of access to the legal profession by assisting students from Black and non-traditional backgrounds to access a career in law. The Grassroots Programme is offered (subject to a formal application process) to eligible undergraduate and post-graduate students from Black and non-traditional backgrounds.

The Grassroots Programme encompasses a series of careers and skills workshops delivered by legal professionals and is designed to help upskill participants for a successful career in law.

The workshops will be delivered by industry experts and legal professionals drawn from BSN’s network of partner universities and Corporate Members.

Programme candidates who demonstrate a high level of commitment, engagement and potential throughout the Programme will be invited to apply for work experience opportunities.
