Bristol-based DAS Law is launching a graduate academy to offer the region’s law graduates and post graduates practical, hands-on legal experience. It will run for 24 months and pays a salary, which will help successful applicants fund postgraduate studies such as the Legal Practice Certificate. Samantha Brown, head of personal injury at DAS, says the academy will focus on personal injury litigation. She says: “The academy will allow them to develop and apply legal skills such as case management and client care, drafting, advocacy skills, negotiation and dispute resolution.” More than 50 graduates have competed for six places in the inaugural academy.
