How it works

Sixth formers register to attend the event and then receive joining links. Part One (the masterclass and workshops) is delivered on the ‘Sessions’ area of our virtual events platform, with attendees able to interact by posting comments and questions in the chat should they wish. Part Two (the law fair) takes place in the ‘Expo’ area of our virtual events platform. Attendees can enter booths of the respective firms and go on screen and chat with them directly via video. We recommend turning on your camera for the best experience.

Please note that this is a dual-date virtual event. The first session takes place on Thursday 27 November 2025 and the second on Tuesday 13 January 2026. Only a single sign-up is required for both dates.
