The Talent the Legal Profession is Missing
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.
