Welcome to PRIME's Legal Job Simulation.

Everyone can access law, you included.

PRIME and our member firms are actively trying to ensure that everyone who wants to enter the world of law has an equal chance to do so. Our firms offer legal work experience to young people from less privileged backgrounds and have now come together to help create PRIME’s Legal Job Simulation.

This programme will give you an insight into what a career in law might look like, starting by exploring the difference between barristers and solicitors.

You will get to experience what real lawyers do every day, working on tasks that introduce you to different practice areas, including commercial and criminal law. You will also build legal skills and gain an understanding of what it means to be a lawyer, helping you to decide if this is the career for you.

You don’t need to have any prior legal experience to complete our programme and you can do so at your own pace to fit around your other school and home commitments.

The programme has been designed for students who meet PRIME’s Eligibility Criteria but is open to all.

You can learn more about PRIME and our member firms here and you can follow PRIME on Instagram here and on LinkedIn here!
