The Law Society’s Diversity Access Scheme (DAS) has opened its doors for the 2020 cohort
DAS aims to improve social mobility in the profession by supporting those facing exceptional social, educational, financial or personal obstacles to qualify as a solicitor. It finances the Legal Practice Course, arranges high-quality work experience and provides mentorship and networking opportunities.
Law Society President Simon Davis said: ‘For our profession to thrive, we need talented individuals from diverse backgrounds.’ Up to 10 trainees will be accepted this year. Apply by 20 April.
