we had an amazing first event co-hosted with the Law Society.
'First gens in law' , this was very popular and attracted a substantial turnout.

This included great insights into law from both barrister and solicitor perspectives, and how this is navigated as a first-generation scholar.
It could not have been possible without our amazing speakers, Salome Goka, Ryan Leigh Dowding, and Liam Lane who gave up their evening to help current Sussex students at such a pivotal point in their careers!

Our key takeaways:
-Work experience is key
- Commercial awareness is relevant for all students and is particularly helpful to gain perspective and learn from.
- There are still sadly many firms/chambers who accept mostly privately educated/Oxbridge students, but there are also many places who are more open!
