Every year thousands of law students graduate from Law school in the UK, and a huge proportion of them are from non-Russell Group universities. Often these students are perceived as being less qualified than their Russell Group peers, meaning the law profession misses out on a huge proportion of the emerging fresh talent each year.
Whether you're a student seeking support or a professional wanting to give back, there's a place for you in our community.
The Reality
Only 9% of trainee solicitors at city law firms are from non-Russell Group universities
Just 24% representation at national and regional law firms
Oxbridge and Russell Group graduates dominate the top 130+ firms
