Rogers & Norton Solicitors Announce the Return of Annual Law Academy Designed for Local Sixth Form Students
Rogers & Norton Solicitors is pleased to announce the return of our annual Law Academy, featuring a series of engaging legal workshops designed to introduce sixth form students to potential careers in law.
Following the success of our previous Law Academy held during the winter and spring of 2023–2024, we are excited to reaffirm our commitment to offering this invaluable experience to sixth form students in the local community. In collaboration with several local schools, the Academy aims to provide guidance and support to students interested in pursuing a career in law. Our goal is to equip them with a thorough understanding of the various pathways into the legal profession and the details of each process.
Starting in October 2024, we will deliver monthly workshops to year 12 and 13 students from a range of local schools including Norwich School, Thorpe St Andrew High School and Sprowston High School. The Academy consists of seven engaging workshops, taking place from October 2024 through to April 2025. These sessions will be conducted on Wednesday evenings at our Norwich office and will be expertly led by experienced legal professionals who specialise in the respective topics being covered. Topics include wills, trusts and probate, property, commercial, litigation and personal injury, and each workshop will consist of a range of practical activities, providing students an insight into day-to-day life of lawyers working within those specific practice areas.
“This initiative provides sixth form students a valuable glimpse into the legal profession, filling a gap where structured work-experience opportunities are typically limited. We’ve received positive feedback from partnering schools and look forward to inspiring aspiring young legal professionals through this year’s academy.”
Louis Hilldrup-Boorman, Marketing Manager at Rogers & Norton.
The Law Academy will conclude with a session focusing on career paths and qualification routes, featuring trainee solicitors, chartered legal executives, directors, and barristers who will share their personal experiences and discuss entry options into the legal field. This closing session welcomes not just students, but also parents and teachers interested in gaining insight into the legal profession.
