Legal Mentoring Network for Glasgow Diploma Students

Issued: Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:51:00 GMT

The School of Law is delighted to announce the creation of 'Glasgow Legal 40', a new mentoring network which will allow Diploma in Legal Practice students to engage with distinguished members of the legal profession.

The group is a network of successful University of Glasgow law alumni, drawn from all sectors of the legal profession. The main activities of the group will include a mentoring programme and a series of social and educational events which will benefit the next generation of lawyers to emerge from the School of Law.

Eileen Paterson, Depute Director of Professional Legal Practice said "We believe that the 'Glasgow Legal 40' initiative will be of enormous benefit to our Diploma in Legal Practice students and ease the transition from university to practice. We are extremely grateful to our alumni who have been enthusiastic in their support of this initiative."

Douglas Mill, Director of Professional Legal Practice added "We are fortunate to be able to draw on the expertise and goodwill of the members of the group who have been so enthusiastic in their support. We believe that this will further develop the School of Law's links with the profession.”

'Glasgow Legal 40' events will begin in Autumn 2010. For further information on the Diploma in Legal Practice, please visit the Diploma page.
